Police to target anti-social behaviour in the Bartonhsam Stores area


It has been brought to the attention of the Police that a trend is emerging in the St. James and Bartonsham area regarding anti social behaviour. Reports have been received that youths are drinking alcohol and subsequently causing a nuisance and anti social behaviour including leaving litter behind. The local policing teams that cover the area will be monitoring and targeting the area and will deal robustly with any offenders by operating a zero tolerance policy. They are also monitoring the sale of alcohol to persons underage and we would like to remind the public that it is an offence to purchase alcohol on behalf of youths and anybody caught doing this will be prosecuted.

The local policing teams want to hear of any incidents of underage drinking and anti-social behaviour in a bid to deter offenders away and ‘clamp’ down on offenders before the lighter night’s draw in. Please do not hesitate to get in contact with them on the number below.
