POLICE have stepped up patrols in Huncoat to combat youths drinking and causing a nuisance.
Officers are concentrating on the Peel Park and Avenue Parade areas on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Constabulary said: “The neighbourhood policing team increased patrols at the relevant times, working alongside a neighbouring team on educational awareness project.
"As a result there has been a vastly reduced number of calls.”
