Shocking footage shows how residents are being terrorised in their homes by a 21-strong gang of teenage yobs who have descended on a picturesque spa town. <br /> <br />The large group of "feral" youths have been causing havoc across the sleepy Worcestershire town of Malvern Link for the past several months. <br /><br />Locals say they are being tormented by the group, estimated to be aged between 12-16, who are threatening people with knives and throwing stones at houses.<br /> <br />Others say they have caught them urinating in neighbouring gardens, stealing and setting fires through people's letterboxes. <br /><br />Parents have said they are too scared to let their kids play out after one boy was beaten up while elderly residents have been left "prisoners in their own homes". <br /><br />One couple living on Cedar Avenue, where house prices average around £320,000, caught the hooded youths on their Ring doorbell camera last week. <br /><br />Footage shows the intimidating gang swarming their driveway before they went into the garden and stole their son's £1,000 bag and £300 bike from their cabin. <br /><br />Célia McCullough, 47, who lives with partner Neil Topping, 49, said they rushed home after watching the theft unfold last Saturday (29/4). <br /><br />Mum-of-two Celia later uploaded the footage to social media in a bid to raise awareness and catch those responsible - but was told by police to take it down. <br /><br />She said: "We saw the group on the footage and we were able to count 21 people that were involved looking at my camera and my neighbours. <br /><br />"It was scary seeing them all at the end of our driveway. <br /><br />"They rushed into our garden and stole my son's bag from our cabin. They also stole an expensive bike as well. <br /><br />"We were driving back home after we found out but we were told by a neighbour that they had already left and had made their way to Malvern Link station.<br /><br />"We heard that they were also throwing stones at homes and urinating on properties as well.<br /><br />"Since uploading it to social media I have been told countless other stories from people who have been terrorised by these same kids. <br /><br />"One said they were too scared to let their children play out after a boy was beaten up by them. They have threatened another with a knife. <br /><br />"I've been told they put things on fire through someone's postbox. It's just awful. This is a nice quiet area with a lot of elderly residents.<br /><br />"This isn't a big city where you might sort of expect this thing, although it's unacceptable anywhere, we moved here because it was beautiful and quiet.<br /><br />"They need to be stopped but when I uploaded the footage I was told by police to take it down because an investigation was ongoing.<br /><br />"But we haven't seen them do anything to stop them. We understand they come from Worcester by train to purposely target our little town.
