Unless they are not doing ilegal activites then nothing can be done. Just because they are scaring people though their presense is showing what this stereotype is doing to people.

If this was a alarm only black people could hear and was used to scare them away so they dont scare others because they mistrust black people there would quite rightly be outrage.
But it isn't. And what they are doing is 'low level nuisance', which is precisely the sort of thing that can be made illegal, in a way, by use of the now-famous ASBO.

So far as I can see, the only people who do not understand how intimidating groups of youths can be are the youths themselves.
