We know that vehicle anti-social behaviour continues to be a key concern for residents across Great Yarmouth, and officers have been along the seafront and South Beach parade in Great Yarmouth the last couple of weekends to take some enforcement action.

During these weekends, officers:

✅ Issued six Section 59 warnings (issued for anti-social driving, including speeding, performing doughnuts, and inconsiderate riding. This was a mix of motorbikes and cars)
✅ Seized a vehicle for having no insurance.
✅ Gave two verbal warnings, one Traffic Offence Report and one breach of PSPO for a range of ASB.
✅ Engaged with drivers, riders and pedestrians in the area, listening to concerns and offering advice where needed.

Thank you to everyone who continues to report concerns to us via our online reporting system or by using the website live chat (https://orlo.uk/dvyNj) Anti-social behaviour like this can be very disruptive, and we understand how frustrating it is, but your reports help us to build a picture of what is happening and where.
We remain committed to working with partners and the community to address vehicle ASB issues across the district.

We're appealing for witnesses or information following an incident in St George’s Park, Great Yarmouth, at the weekend.

Officers received a call on Saturday 5 September 2026 at approximately 10.20pm in which a dark-coloured, possibly blue, car was reported to be driving erratically at a group of people in St George’s Park. It’s reported that the group were then throwing items at the vehicle, before it drove off from the area.

While enquiries into the incident continue, including reviewing nearby CCTV footage, officers are asking anyone with information or witnessed the incident to please get in touch, quoting reference 548 of the 5th (contact methods can be found via the link in the comments).

We understand this incident is concerning to residents and visitors of the area, and tackling anti-social behaviour and keeping our communities safe from violence remains a priority for our officers. Both police and partner agencies will continue to work together to address issues affecting the St George's Park area.

Behind every call, email and online report is someone needing help, support or advice. Increased demand can sometimes mean longer waiting times for non-emergency incidents.

While we're working hard to respond as quickly as possible, every contact is assessed and prioritised so officers can attend those facing the highest levels of threat, risk and harm first. Our teams continue to respond to emergencies, investigate crime, safeguard vulnerable people and support communities across Norfolk.

A huge thank you to our officers and staff for their dedication during what has been the busiest summer on record. 💙

It’s been a very busy summer for our neighbourhood officers, attending events across the area and responding to emergency calls alongside response colleagues. Here’s some of the other things our town centre beat managers have been doing in the last month:

👉 Assisting partner agencies with the closure of five shops selling illegal goods in the town centre. A day after these closures, a new shop was being set up where police visited and £5,000 worth of illegal ci******es were seized.
👉 Dedicated patrols of Town Centre, St Georges Park, Regent Road, and King Street. Four stop searches were conducted with one positive result for theft from shops- goods were retrieved and returned to store.
👉 One woman was remanded to prison for persistent ASB within the town centre.
👉 Arrest of a man who has breached his CBO multiple times being in the town centre.

Please continue to report any concerns or incidents to us- you can do so on our website, or by calling us on 101. Always call 999 in an emergency.
