Not letting DS out with friends

So my DS has been allowed to play out for the last year or so.
However a couple of his friends always seem to get in trouble / cause trouble and DS does 99% of the time take himself out of the situation etc but it's just getting to the point now where I don't want him spending time with them. But I know (think I know!) that's wrong for me to decide who he's friends with.

DS has just come down and asked to play out with them and I've said no. He's now sat up in his room crying 😔

Help / Advice please... Should I let him? (Spoke to dh, his response was just let me out so I now I feel even worse)

How old is ds?
What sort of trouble?
I think if it's just kid like trouble ( knocking on doors and running) I'd let it go but if stealing or bullying I'd not let him out but he also has to learn right from wrong.
