PCSO Mark Detheridge, from the Saddleworth and Lees policing team, said rowdy youths were kicking front doors on a regular basis from 8pm onwards on most occasions.
He said: “The doors have been kicked with such force that damage has been caused. Some of the victims of this crime are vulnerable and this has caused them distress.
