A dispersal order has been authorised following an increase in anti-social behaviour at Mostyn Champneys Retail Park in Wales. District Inspector Catherine Walker initiated the order, which came into effect at 9:03 PM on Tuesday, October 27, and will remain in place until 9:03 PM tonight (Wednesday, October 28).
The dispersal order grants police officers and designated PCSOs the authority to direct individuals to leave specified areas in order to prevent anti-social behaviour, crime, or disorder. Non-compliance with this directive constitutes a criminal offence, potentially resulting in a fine of up to £2,500 and/or a prison sentence of up to three months.
Inspector Walker stated that there is a zero-tolerance approach towards groups of youths gathering in the retail park, intimidating shoppers, and engaging in anti-social behaviour. She urged parents and caregivers to remain aware of the whereabouts of their children and to understand the implications of the dispersal order.
