Tenby: Boys film ‘extremely dangerous’ 8 storey building stunt

Parkour-Tenby
8 storeys up: One of the boys on the roof

A VIDEO which shows boys carrying out dangerous parkour stunts on buildings in Tenby has prompted concern from the authorities.

Parkour is a modern sporting activity which involves running, jumping and climbing on buildings and structures.

In the video, the young boys are climbing on and around Greenhill School, St Teilo’s School and – most shockingly – 8 storeys up on top of the Croft Court building.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “The main aspect is safety, and while we are not trying to ruin anybody’s fun, this can be an extremely dangerous activity.

“I would urge anybody considering taking part to think very carefully about the dangers they are putting themselves and other members of the community in.

“The other aspect is that youths are trespassing on the properties where they are carrying out this activity.”

Police say they have tracked down and spoken to the participants of the video. They ask that anyone who witnesses trespassing to contact them by calling 101.

A spokesperson for Pembrokeshire County Council said: “Not only are they putting their lives at risk, they are acting illegally through trespassing on school property, and in no way do we condone their behaviour.”
