Brighton on Alert: Dispersal Order Slaps Down Anti-Social Behaviour
Dispersal Order Enforced Tonight
Police have slapped a dispersal order on Brighton’s New Road and Pavilion Gardens after a spike in anti-social behaviour. The order kicked in this afternoon (September 26) and will stay until 2am tomorrow morning (September 27). Officials will then review the situation to decide if it needs extending.
Three Men Arrested Amid Crackdown
Three men have been arrested linked to the disturbances. Two were detained for flouting their Community Protection Notices. The third was nabbed on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
Heavy Police Presence to Keep Order
Local cops have ramped up patrols in the hot spot, determined to stop any more trouble. The dispersal order gives officers the power to move anyone suspected of causing a nuisance out of the area. Those who refuse risk facing arrest.
Residents Urged to Stay Alert
Authorities are urging locals and visitors to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police as the crackdown continues.
