Officers enforced a dispersal order under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, to prevent large groups of people congregating in the area.

On Friday, June 24, three traffic offence reports, which related to speeding in Crossways Boulevard, were also given out and the drivers reported for speeding received fixed penalty notices.

Businesses in the area have previously spoken out about being plagued by up to 200 'boy racers' who use the boulevard as a race track.

It's also not the first time police have used a dispersal orders in the area to keep the anti-social behaviour to a limit.

In the same area officers also issued a driver with a warning about using their vehicle in an anti-social manner while another driver was issued with a notice to leave the area immediately and not return for at least 24 hours.

Ten vehicles were also ordered to leave a car park on Saturday, June 25.

Community Safety Unit Inspector, Trevor Jenner, said: "These latest results are evidence of our ongoing efforts to crackdown on drivers using their vehicles in an antisocial manner in the area.

"We understand residents have concerns and we are responding to these concerns by ensuring a continued visible police presence where drivers causing antisocial behaviour are being robustly dealt with.

"Those motorists who persist in continuing to frequent the area causing antisocial behaviour will risk further fines and having their vehicles seized."
