A 14-year-old boy was moved on after reports of damage to a shelter in Marine Parade, Whitstable. The latest order covers the coast between Seasalter Beach and Saxon Shore Way. Ch Insp Paul Stoner said: "We are determined that nobody should be subjected to the actions of others which makes them feel harassed, alarmed or distressed. "Officers have been challenging those who carry out nuisance behaviour and anyone who is under 18 can also expect their parents to be contacted about their actions."
