Police take action against anti-social behaviour
Police in east Kent have imposed another weekend public dispersal order to prevent anti-social behaviour. The order gives officers the power to move on anyone over the age of 10 if they are causing a nuisance, and arrest them if they refuse. It covers Whitstable and Herne Bay and is in effect from 25 to 27 July. It is the latest in a series of operations by the force which, it said, has seen 30 people moved on in a previous weekend. It said 29 of those were people between the ages of 11 and 18, who were moved on during the evening of 18 July. A 14-year-old boy was moved on after reports of damage to a shelter in Marine Parade, Whitstable. The latest order covers the coast between Seasalter Beach and Saxon Shore Way. Ch Insp Paul Stoner said: "We are determined that nobody should be subjected to the actions of others which makes them feel harassed, alarmed or distressed. "Officers have been challenging those who carry out nuisance behaviour and anyone who is under 18 can also expect their parents to be contacted about their actions."
