DO you know where your children go when they are out playing?

That's the question being asked by police in the south of the Island who are urging parents to check.

It follows reports that young people have gained entry, and caused damage to, the Marine Biological Station in Port Erin.

The police have said that while they don't condone these acts of criminal damage, their main concern is for the safety of the people once inside the building as there are "lots of potential dangers inside which pose a threat of serious injury".

PC Rob Lewis from the Southern Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "I would ask every parent or guardian to know where your child is playing as this building has some very serious hazards inside and poses a very dangerous risk to a person's safety whilst inside.

"The police will be enhancing patrols in the area and action will be taken against anybody found causing criminal damage.

"I would also like to appeal to any member of the public who witness or suspect persons are inside this property to contact the police on 631212."
