Police warned families on a residential street that it was a crime for their children to skateboard on the road, it emerged last night. Surrey Police officers have apologised for posting the notices through doors on a road in Thames Ditton, which left children as young as six scared that they would be arrested for playing outside.

Detectives said in the letter that they were 'reminding parents and youths of their legal and social responsibilities', adding that 'playing football or other sports in the street is a criminal offence'.

Local resident Catriona Riddell said some children on the street - which has an average house price of £770,000 - had started to go outside to play after the road was resurfaced last month.

There must be a good reason not to. Without knowing, the context is incomplete.
