POLICE are advising people to stay away from the Stewartstown Road.

The PSNI say they are currently in attendance "due to large crowds in the area".

"The public are advised to avoid the area at this time. An update will be given in due course."

Videos posted on social media show people driving motorbikes and scramblers along the road.

Last week a  multi-agency meeting took place to address ongoing anti-social issues on the Stewartstown Road including young people driving scramblers and motorbikes recklessly in the area.

Condemining the actions witnessed on Saturday evening, Sinn Féin MLA Danny Baker said: 

“What we witnessed on the Stewartstown Road last night was absolutely disgraceful. The main thoroughfare connecting our communities was shut down by large groups of young people determined to cause chaos and destruction.

“Local residents and businesses were once again hemmed in, while youth workers were threatened by sinister elements standing on the sidelines of the disorder.

“This is not the Colin I know, the Colin I represent or the Colin I love. That Colin is the proud community which has stood strong in recent weeks, steering most young people away from trouble, showing leadership, providing positive opportunities and creating safe spaces.

“I want to thank our youth and community workers, residents and local businesses, and reassure them that together, we will not allow a small minority to drag us backwards.”
