People are being warned about the dangers and the many risks that come with hanging around quarries. 

Police in Magherafelt say they've been dealing with these types of calls locally since the first day of the warm weather.

Not only is it against the law to break into these areas if they're closed off, there's the chance that you or someone else could be seriously injured, or worse. 

A spokesperson for the PSNI says over recent years, a number of families have had to deal with the loss of loved ones in tragic circumstances following incidents in quarries.
