A large group of youths have been trying to get into a derelict, and potentially dangerous, building.

Two PCSO's in Burnley have responded to a call that a number of youths were trying to gain access to the building which is boarded up.

PSCO Cunliffe and PSCO Holden said: "Tonight we have received a call that a large number of youths have been trying to gain access to a derelict building.

"Please can all parents educate their children that these buildings are not a play ground, not safe and may contain asbestos."
