Anti-yob order after reports of criminal damage and anti-social behaviour in Arnold

Bookmark

An anti-yob order has been slapped on Arnold after reports of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage.

Officers have issued a Dispersal Order after concerns were raised about young people behaving in an antisocial manner in recent days.

The incidents remain under investigation and the neighbourhood policing team has also put in place a temporary dispersal order which gives officers the power to order people out of a specific area.

The order began at 7pm last night (October 30) for a period of 48 hours and may be re-imposed at any time.

Sergeant Alison Riley, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We have received several reports of anti-social behaviour in the area over the last few days and this is something we take very seriously.

“In response a dispersal order has been issued to cover the town centre and surrounding parks to target groups who are perceived as causing or likely to cause nuisance.

“As a result, anyone who refuses to leave the area when asked will be committing an offence. Members of the Neighbourhood Policing team will also be out and about throughout the week to respond to and tackle any reports of anti-social behaviour.

“I would also encourage residents who are concerned about crime and disorder to get in contact with us as soon as possible. We will listen and we will react.”
