Good evening,

Last Night(24/01/25) I organised an operation that targeted youth related ASB in the Hebden Bridge centre, we looked at ASB in general, youth related drinking and drug taking. 

Myself, another PCSO and two plain clothed Police constables were out patrolling the area. Throughout the evening multiple youths were stopped and spoken to regarding anti-social behaviour and were briefly educated, majority were pleasant and understood the impact of anti-social behaviour and the impact it has on the community as whole.

Towards the end of the operation a small group of youths were spoken to regarding under age drinking, unfortunately for them they failed to hide their vodka bottle that was placed next to them and this was confiscated swiftly. 

More operations like this one will be happening again in the future.

Kind Regards
