There have been multiple reports of "nuisance youths" jumping into a lake, with four people being ordered to leave the area by police.

A dispersal order was put in place in Holborough, Snodland, and from 3pm on Monday until 3pm yesterday.

Insp Lizzie Jones, of the Tonbridge and Malling Community Safety Unit, said: "Between Monday and Wednesday, my officers enforced a dispersal order in the Holborough Lakes area following reports from residents and the landowner about disorderly behaviour and criminal damage.

"The order gave my officers the power to move on anyone who they suspected was involved in, or likely to become involved in, antisocial or nuisance behaviour.

"It also gave patrols the power to escort anyone under the age of 18 to their home address.

"Over the two days, four people left the area after receiving words of advice from a constable.

"While we are working with the landowner and council to identify ways of preventing these incidents, we will not hesitate to enforce further dispersal orders should there be the need."
