The first thing we need to do here is put in place a PSPO (Public Spaces Protection Order)." He said this would need to be led by the council, but added Wiltshire Police would "provide all the support" to address anti-social behaviour in those areas. The comments followed a walkabout that started in Fore Street and made its way through the Shires shopping centre and Trowbridge event was part of a wider programme of engagement aimed at tackling community safety Witter said there have been "multiple incidents" recently, including "fights, people being arrested on a daily basis, smoking weed, drinking and screaming and shouting"."It's quite shocking to know that it is taking place in such a small community," she added. Issues surrounding anti-social behaviour and street drinking were discussed, with specialist drug and alcohol support charities also present at the Ho Tsang, from the town's neighbourhood policing team, said that community support was vital in improving the situation."(Crime) is not just a policing matter, it's a community matter," he said."There are partners out there, which we've got to listen to and work together to develop a long term solution."He acknowledged that in an "ideal world" there would be a larger number of officers regularly patrolling the town, but added that the force "needs to balance our resources with the wider demand".

BREAKING NEWS Idiot thug steals a Woolworths truck before leading police on a wild chase - what happened next has stunned the city
A man has been arrested following a dramatic police pursuit across Sydney, after he assaulted a Woolworths truck driver with a stun device and stole the vehicle. The chaos began on Olympic Parade in Bankstown, where police say a 23-year-old truck driver was attacked and had his truck stolen in broad daylight. He was initially taken to Bankstown Police Station before paramedics transported him to hospital for further treatment. Police quickly launched a search and eventually located the stolen truck on the Princes Highway at Rockdale. When officers tried to stop it, the driver refused to pull over, triggering a pursuit. The chase tore through Wolli Creek, where the truck allegedly slammed into four parked cars without stopping. With growing safety concerns, police made the call to terminate the pursuit as the truck veered onto the M8 motorway. With the help of PolAir, officers tracked the truck westbound as it continued onto the M4, barreling down the highway before police laid down road spikes on the Great Western Highway at Glenbrook. The vehicle finally came to a stop at Blaxland, where officers arrested the driver after deploying a Taser, with support from the Dog Unit and the Public Order and Riot Squad.
