Group of teenagers Hartington Rd/Chiswick Staithe area

We live just off Hartington Rd and have been regularly interrupted by two young teenage boys ca. 12 - 15 years old banging on our door and letter box in the evening and running off. Whilst this might sound simply annoying, it happened last week to my wife at 10.30pm whilst I was away and she was about to go to bed so it's very unsettling. The pair did it last night at 8.30pm and I jumped in the car to find them and there as a group of two teenage girls and three boys on Hartington Rd who ran away into Chiswick Staithe when I spoke to them. I think they're very local and wish they would stop.Any ideas/suggestions? Any clue to who they might be?

I can neither confirm or deny I played knock down ginger late at night as a kid but I can say I had positive male role models and parents who cared where I was.Theoretically if I had played knock down ginger I would acknowledge now that it was a thoughtless callous thing to do which I feel thoroughly ashamed of having done (not to say that I did).

What are they doing out at that time of night? No positive male role models. Parents don't care where they are.

Knocking on your door and running off. The answer is you can't do nothing and the Police will do zilch. To a point many people Would criticize you for ringing the police. Answer,scare them off or do the wrong thing and expect to be up in front of a judge on grounds as gainst a minor Stay strong and stay healthy
