Youngsters have been spotted throwing tiles from the roof of a historic abandoned building to the streets below.
Three youngsters, all believed to be male, were spotted on the top of the former Swansea Boys’ Club in Mayhill , pulling the tiles from the building and sending them smashing to the ground.
The tiles shattered onto the streets below the building, but no-one was hurt.
A resident living nearby said: “My husband and I were sitting in the garden and we noticed people on top of the club throwing things off.
“So my husband called the police and I took a photo and shared it on social media in case anyone knew the boys and also to warn people how dangerous it was.
“The police called my husband back then went up there pretty quickly.”
Another resident said: “There was a lot of damage. But the police and the council don’t care. The building is just a state”.

The building, which first opened in 1922, was once home to Swansea Boys’ Club , which was one of the most successful clubs on the Swansea and West Wales football scene.
It eventually folded, and four years ago plans to develop the site into a community centre came to nothing.
The boarded up and dilapidated building now attracts drug users, who leave behind needles and drug paraphernalia .
A South Wales Police spokesman said: “We were called at about 5.30pm on Thursday night to reports of youths throwing items off the roof of the old Swansea Boys’ Club.
“Officers attended but no youths were located. Investigations are ongoing and anyone with information should contact 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting occurrence 1900194890”.
In November, the property was on the market for £50,000. Its former owner, Swansea Council, sold the building in January.
