YET again, in last week's Guardian, there was another story of a few bad apples spoiling the barrel.

This time it was at Jax Nightspot where a small minority of teenagers vandalised the toilets and smashed windows causing the disco, which had been arranged for the youngsters of this town, to be abandoned early.

When are these few brainless morons who get a kick out of depriving everyone else of their fun going to held accountable for their actions?

It is grossly unfair that those who attend these discos to have a good time should be made to go home early, due to the reckless behaviour of these delinquents.

To often we hear about kids getting a ticking off by the police and then the very next day they are back on the streets again causing mayhem.

The only way this behaviour can be stopped is if the law deals with these young offenders in the appropriate way.
