A GANG of feral teenagers, believed to be around 15 strong, have been making the lives of residents of a new apartment block in Tilbury a misery.

A resident has posted a video of the block corridors showing damage and litter after the youngsters came into the building, including breaking a fire alarm.

That is particularly scary for residents as the youngsters have also been seen setting fires.

The resident says: "This is just one of the videos of the damage that the teens have done to our block this week.

"Last night there were 15 of them at our block. Lighting fires and breaking the fire alarms.

"They have set fire to someone's car, shouting racist remarks to our residents. And egg inside the block almost daily.

"My eight-year-old is now having nightmares that her homes been fire.

"Parents are even dropping their kids to our block! Please speak to your children. It is a joke. We have two names far. And we have videos of their faces which have been passed on to authorities.

"For children to be making such racist remarks is disgusting and parents need to step in."
