Police did a deal with youngsters out camping at a remote spot.

Officers were patrolling in an area that they haven’t named.

They came across a group of young school leavers camping.

A spokesman said: ’No doubt before we arrived they were loud and messing around but that’s not always a bad thing.

’They are part of our island community and they too have probably struggled and worried over the last few months and not been able to seek solace with their peers.

’A deal was struck with them as follows... behave , be good, be happy and be nice and make sure you clean up any mess before you leave.

’They happily gave us their names and those of their parents and a promise was made, a deal was struck. One of trust and respect for each others role and position.

’Do you know what happened?

They stayed and were with each other and in the morning they cleaned up after them and left the place spotless.’
