Police say the suspects were all white, tanned and slim. Two of them had shaven dark brown hair, the third had mousey shaven hair. All spoke with Irish accents and police believe they are brothers.

They left with two women, one believed to be their mother, in a silver people carrier-style car.

It is thought that the same boys were part of a group that had caused problems earlier in the day and police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or may have information about those involved.

Officers would be particularly interested to see any photographs taken on the day that may have included the suspects. Please email [email protected] or call 101 quoting serial 568 of 25/08.
