Priority:
Anti Social Behaviour
Action taken:
Building on the enforcement in previous months we are now working with the Local Authority ASB Team to support applications for Antisocial Behaviour Injunctions against some young people. We will be targeting those that have repeatedly been involved in causing harm in our community. If granted we will be requesting that the court attaches a power of arrest if the conditions are breached. We will update the community as these cases progress through Court.
Our Neighbourhood Police Team Inspector granted a dispersal order at times during the last 2 months that aims to tackle specifically those we believe involved in ASB. Legislation does not allow these to last longer than 48 hours, nor to be in force constantly. We will continue to grant and enforce these where necessary.

A main suspect was identified as a male who already had a Criminal Behaviour Order to exclude him from Sainsbury. He has recently been arrested and sentenced the following day to 36 weeks imprisonment. We will continue to monitor the issue and prevent further offences.
