Police are urging parents to make sure they know what their children are up to over the Christmas holidays.

Schools across Sheffield will break up on Friday and return on January 6.

Sheffield city centre Sergeant Jon Simpson said: “My advice to parents is know where your children are.

“The more informed you are about their plans, who they're with and how they intend to get home, the better.”

He said he wanted everyone to have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.
