A children's play area was cordoned off after youths created a nuisance nearby.

Police were called to Kiddies Corner in Marine Drive, Margate, at 11.45am today.

A spokesman for the force says the group had dispersed by the time officers arrived.

"Officers remain in the area carrying out patrols," he added.

KentOnline understands it was not police who taped off Kiddies Corner.
