A group of 'around 50 youths' had to be dispersed by police following an incident in a usually quiet Isle of Wight village late last night (Friday).

Just before midnight, at 11.42pm, Hampshire and IW Constabulary was called to Caws Avenue, near Nettlestone and Seaview.

A resident reported 'kids everywhere, fighting and shouting' and two buses in the middle of the road 'unable to move'.
