HUNDREDS of youths were forced to move on by police today after ugly scenes erupted at Town Beach.
Initial calls came in just after 2pm from members of the public.
Just before 3pm local officers swooped on the popular beach and ordered the teenagers away from the area.
Tensions rose as drunken youths pushed police, yelled obscenities and refused to leave.
At this stage it is unclear how many arrests were made but at least two young men were taken into custody.
