A dispersal order has been authorised to help officers deal with reports of anti-social behaviour at Swanwick Marina.

It comes after officers received recent reports of youth-related ASB, criminal damage and harassment in the local area.

The order, under Section 34 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, has been authorised to cover the area pictured in the map from 3pm on Friday 17 July until 3pm on Sunday 19 July.

Officers will be able to order a person to leave the area with no return within the specified period and those who refuse to comply will be committing a criminal offence and are liable for arrest.

Children who are aged under 16 will be taken to their home address and follow-up work will be done with parents.

Officers will be patrolling in the area so please do come and speak to them if you have any questions or concerns.

If you have witnessed or been affected by anti-social behaviour in the area, please continue to report it to police, so we can target our patrols and take further proactive action.

Anyone with information about anti-social behaviour is asked to contact police on 101, or submit information to us online via our reporting tool here: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/ro/report/asb/asb-v3/report-antisocial-behaviour/

If a crime is in progress, please dial 999.
