The latest incident happened on Wednesday, August 2, when two young boys were reportedly seen firing catapults in the area of Dugdell Close in Ferndown.
A Dorset Police spokesperson said: “We received a further report at 9.47pm of two young of people firing catapults in the area of Dugdell Close in Ferndown, causing damage to a property.
Residents say problems with antisocial behaviour have persisted in the area for a number of years.
They said they believed the problem was partly due to a lack of activities for young people in the area.
“Once they get to a certain age there is nothing for them to do and it’s too far to travel.”
