A 48 HOUR dispersal order has been set in the Tredegar area, following reports of anti-social behaviour.
The order will apply to areas which includes Commercial Street, Mount Street, Morgan Street, Castle Street, Market Street, Queen Victoria Street and Gwent Shopping Centre, in Tredegar.
The order started yesterday (Friday, January 20) at 4pm and runs until Sunday.
Police Officers will be patrolling and will be able to direct people behaving anti-socially away from the areas concerned.
Police have warned that should anyone return to that area after being moved on, they face being arrested.
Sarah Greening, a local inspector, said: “This dispersal order has been put in place following reports of anti-social behaviour in the area where the actions of a small minority are causing alarm and distress to local residents.
“Officers will be on regular patrol in the areas affected to enforce the Dispersal Order and to prevent incidents of anti-social behaviour.”
Any anti-social activity can be reported by calling to 101 or on 0800 555111.
