Police say 'there is no place' for anti-social behaviour in Bridlington after targeting town's hotspots
Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team have been busy patrolling the coast and countryside this week, visiting areas where members of the public and businesses reported concerns around anti social behaviour (ASB) in the area.
Alongside partner agencies including the local council, police officers have sought to provide reassurance to residents while gathering more information to help the teams target hotspot locations. They also worked proactively to tackle crime that most concerns the community.
Neighbourhood Policing Officers have also been assisting Trading Standards by visiting multiple convenience shops across the town where suspected illegal tobacco and cigarettes were seized.
As part of the force’s engagement activity and enforcement, a property in Bridlington was issued with a closure notice after multiple reports of ongoing ASB from the address.
PC Hoggard said: “I want this to be a reminder that ASB will not be tolerated in our community.
"The impact ASB has on residents, communities and businesses cannot be underestimated.
"We take all reports extremely seriously, as it can have a detrimental effect on people's lives.
“There is no place for it in Bridlington, and we would always encourage anyone with any information or concerns to please speak to us when you see us out and about.
“You can also report online, via 101 or always call 999 in an emergency.”
