“Police presence in the area will remain highly visible for the next 24 hours to respond to community concerns.”

One holidaymaker told the Mirror: “Because of lots of horrendous behaviour from a certain group of people last night, we’ve had to come home because of it.

“Kids heartbroken and devastated and devastated poor staff are so upset also as they’ve put a lot of time and work into the entertainment and things that were meant to be happening over the weekend.”
