Nip it in the bud

My friend, Scout John, informs me that there was a gang of young people roaming around our estate a few days prior to the vandalism up at the swimming pool. They were seen going into the abandoned houses and then into the pool at one of the holiday homes. They had apparently been into several gardens where the houses were unoccupied.

As John says, we need to keep an eye out for them and phone the police if they return. In a small town like Bigastro, they will be known. Nothing much escapes the locals here so I am sure that they will be told off by now.
