Warnings for young people to stay away from quarries

A campaign aimed at highlighting the dangers of swimming in quarry pools has been launched by North Wales Police.

Working in partnership with construction materials company Hanson, which operates five quarries in North Wales, the campaign warns children and young people to stay away from water-filled quarries as schools close for the summer.

The warning comes after North Wales Police were recently requested to carry out a safety audit at one of Hanson UK's quarries in the Mold area due to concerns of people trespassing.

Watch Rob Shelley's report:

Members of the public are also being reminded that quarries are private properties and anybody found swimming or on the rocks would be trespassing.

Hanson are also planning to add dye to the water at its site near Mold to act as a further deterrent to swimmers.
