Police 'tackling' lewd behaviour
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/5274402.stm

Police have said they are working "around the clock" in a bid to tackle lewd conduct in the Edenderry area.

DUP councillor Edwin Poots said residents had approached him about people engaging in "public acts of sex" around the County Antrim village.

He claimed young children had witnessed the acts which were taking place in fields during the day.

The police said, to date, four people had been arrested for indecency offences.

Mr Poots said he was contacted by residents "about the ongoing difficulties they face with inappropriate sexual behaviour, particularly men engaging in public acts of sex and other repulsive activities".

He added: "Parents came to me because their young children have witnessed naked men engaged in compromising positions in the fields in broad daylight.

'Visibility patrols'

"The children are having to stay indoors and when they travel in and out of the village parents are making their children lie down on the car seats so not to look outside the windows because of the scale of the problem."

Mr Poots said the problem, which he claimed also involved prostitutes, needed to be eradicated so that children could play in safety.

In a statement, the police said: "The area of Edenderry village currently receives close attention from high visibility patrols by the Community Policing Team.

"To date, four people have been arrested for various indecency offences.

"Police have been working to tackle this kind of behaviour in Edenderry for quite some time, and will continue to do so.

"Anyone who has witnessed this type of behaviour and has useful information should contact police."

Apparently the area of the village its taking place in is called "The Giants Ring".
