A spokesperson for the police said: "Today I wanted to make you aware of a type of behaviour that will not be tolerated.

"What makes it even worse is that there is a Mosque next door and bottles are thrown onto the roof of the property as you can see from the pictures.

"This is clearly disrespectful.

"I would love to hear and urge the community to come together and forward me any information about these youths."
