THREE teens have been excluded from an area or Earby due to anti-social behaviour.
The trio will have to stay away from the area for 24 hours or face jail or a fine of £2,500.
It comes after residents complained about weeks of intimidation, drunkenness, shouting and litter in Earby, Barnoldswick and Burnley.
Officers issued the directions under S34 of the anti-social behaviour crime and policing act 2014.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We hope others take heed that this legislation is serous with serious repercussions.
"Breach of the direction is three months imprisonment or a fine of £2,500."
