Anti Social Behaviour

Officers have been given additional powers to direct people to leave King Square, Barry, following further incidents of anti-social behaviour, fighting, fires and criminal damage. 

The order, which is granted under Section 34 of the Anti- Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014, is in place from today (Thursday November 5) until Saturday November 7.

The order enables officers to direct individuals or groups to leave the area for 48 hours if their behaviour has or is likely to contribute to disorder or cause harassment, alarm, or distress to members of the public. 

Those who are under the age of 16 and subject to this legislation will be taken home or to a place of safety. 

We urge parents and guardians to speak to their young people about not getting involved in anti-social behaviour. Please also check who they are associating with, what they are doing and where they are. 

Directed patrols by the Neighbourhood Policing Team are also continuing in King Square and we ask the public to please keep reporting incidents and providing information. 

Anyone with information or concerns with this matter is asked to contact South Wales Police
