Police asked to step in as 'boy racers' take over former Shoprite car park

Residents of the Little Switzerland estate and surrounding areas are asking for increased police patrols in their area to reduce anti-social behaviour in the Victoria Road former Shoprite store carpark.

Since the supermarket closed for its Tesco makeover residents say the car park has been used by boy racers, skidding around the car park, playing loud music and beeping their horns.

A number of the locals have complained about the issue to Douglas East Councillors and MHK's Devon Watson and Joney Faragher.

They've also issued a plea to Tesco to close the car park until the store is ready for reopening.
