Youth causing ASB and Section 35 Dispersal Order

Dear Residents,

We are aware of a series of ASB that is happening at the CO-OP Yarnton way on FRIDAYS at 20:00HRS 

the series of ASB have been ongoing for the past 3 weeks and the team are working hard on identifying the youth involved however this is taking time due to the sheer volume of youth involved. 

The SNT were aware of recent reports and pitched up on YARNTON WAY and due to the quick reaction of SNT and Local shop workers we managed to prevent any looting taking place on this occasion. Due to there being in surplus of 100 youth involved in yesterdays incident a Section 35 Dispersal order was authorised and put in place by Inspector Keen, as of 20:05hrs on 12/09/2025 and is in place until this evening 13/09/2025 

Please note when the individuals involved are Identified there will be action taken against them as we on the Safer Neighbourhood Team will not tolerate ASB. 

We on the team urge you, if you have children of Secondary school age please keep them in on a Friday evening to prevent them from being caught up this disorder, more so if you know anyone that is involved in these incidents from the past three weeks please do let us know.

Many Thanks,

Thamesmead East SNT
