A second dispersal order has been issued in a town just three days after the last one.

The Section 34 dispersal covering Ashford has been issued to crack down on trouble.

It has been issued under the Crime and Policing Act 2014, which gives officers the power to remove anyone causing nuisance behaviour.

Kent Police Ashford tweeted about 5pm: "A S34 dispersal order is now in place in Ashford.

"Police will using powers under the Crime and Policing Act 2014 to remove persons during incidents of nuisance behaviour. They must then not return to the town centre, for up to 48 hours, or face being arrested.

"Should you be aware of any such behaviour, please report via 999, in an emergency, 101 or online at Kent.police.uk/ro/report."

This dispersal order comes just three days after a 24-hour order was issued for the town.

A man was subsequently arrested for being drunk and disorderly and assaulting a police officer.

Three people were also asked not to return to the area for 24 hours.
