Sussex Police have slammed the brakes on youth chaos in Southwick with a tough new Section 34 Dispersal Order.
Youth Antisocial Behaviour Sparks Crackdown
After several reports of unruly youngsters stirring trouble, the force has stepped up. The dispersal order gives officers the power to break up groups in the hotspot area. Anyone ignoring this instruction risks a fine.
Increased Police Presence to Keep Calm
Sussex Police said: “We will have an increased policing presence in the area to minimise disruption and help keep people safe.”
Order Active Until Saturday Afternoon
The order is in place until 4pm this Saturday, targeting the outlined Southwick zone. Police are warning troublemakers to clear off or face penalties.
