A GROUP of young males have been reported by police after being found climbing on 'high roofs' in a north Cumbrian town.
Eden police intercepted the young men this evening, July 16 after they were caught climbing on high roofs of businesses in Burrowgate, Penrith.
Fire crews assisted the police to intercept the youths for anti-social behaviour in the town, with the youths' parents being called to collect them.
In a statement on social media, Eden police said: "This is an area where damage has already been reported and lives are being put at risk.
"Parents were called to collect the young males who have been reported for offences.
"Parents please discuss the dangers of roof climbing with your children if they're out and about unsupervised."
