Three Portishead teenagers who were caught on CCTV abusing staff in MacDonalds have picked up litter to make amends for their actions.

The three boys, aged 13 and 14, agreed to tidy up the Wyndham Way fast food restaurant's car park as part of the Restorative Justice scheme.

Between Christmas and New Year, there were a series of incidents where youngsters were intimidating customers, and shouting and swearing at staff in MacDonalds.

The incidents were captured on CCTV, and the three boys involved have also now been banned from the MacDonalds.

PC Jock Cameron said: "The boys attended the local police station, wrote a letter of apology, and hand delivered this to the manager of MacDonalds. They have shown real remorse for their actions.

"Restorative Justice ensures that we can resolve low level crimes without giving those involved a criminal record. This was by no means an easy option.

"The boys have learned a valuable lesson and I am pleased to say this was a positive outcome for everyone involved."
