Dear Resident

We are receiving reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB) on Stone Hill, near Spennells Valley.

Following reports of large groups of around 15 youths on private residential property attempting to enter derelict buildings and storage yards in the evenings of 25th and 26th April at 19:00hrs  and 19:30hrs respectively, we are conducting CCTV enquiries to identify those involved. Reports have also included that the youths have been drinking alcohol.

Anti-social behaviour covers a wide range of unacceptable activity that causes harm to an individual, to their community or to their environment. This could be an action by someone else that leaves you feeling alarmed, harassed or distressed. It also includes fear of crime or concern for public safety, public disorder or public nuisance.

Examples of anti-social behaviour include:

If you are experiencing problems with anti-social behaviour, or have any concerns about it, or other community safety issues, you should contact your local council or report this to us online. In an emergency, if you or your property are at risk or a crime is in progress call 999.

The police, local authorities and other community safety partner agencies, such as Fire & Rescue and social housing landlords, all have a responsibility to deal with anti-social behaviour and to help people who are suffering from it.

If you have information ASB please let us know using the online ‘Tell Us About’ form on our website www.westmercia.police.uk, quoting incident reference 00406_I_26042024.
