Police warning to car park racers

Police have begun a crackdown to tackle an increase in "boy racer activity" in a Lincolnshire town.

It follows an increase in complaints from local residents regarding anti-social behaviour at the Asda supermarket car park in Boston.

Pc Martyn Chambers said: "This type of 'boy racer' activity in a store car park is completely inappropriate and very dangerous."

Patrols have been stepped up and drivers risk having their car seized.

Pc Chambers added: "The youths are increasingly causing concern, congregating most evenings in the Asda car park playing loud music, revving engines, doing handbrake turns and racing around the area."

"A life could be at risk if this behaviour continues."
