FOUR youngsters had to be removed from the roof of the Mall shopping centre in Blackburn yesterday after they were spotted sunbathing.

Police were called to the roof above Primark, on the corner of Ainsworth Street and Church Street, after shoppers spotted the teenagers trespassing on the roof and standing close to the edge.

But the youths were not threatening to jump, police said, and were sunbathing.

They were spoken to and moved on by officers.
