Police have spent the last week cracking down on anti-social behaviour.

This week, officers in Pendle have been working closely with partners from social services, NHS and other police departments, including TacOps and the mounted branch.

This has included stopping a number of vehicles and dealing with motorists who were committing traffic offences at a number of check sites across the borough.

The team have been patrolling the hot spot areas for burglary, drug dealing and auto-crime, resulting in numerous stop searches and disruption visits taking place.

A number of schools and youth groups have also been visited through the course of the week to deliver educational sessions on anti-social behaviour and the effects it can have on the communities.

Sergeant Cooper said: “This week’s activity has been made possible off the back of intelligence given to us by you – our community – and working with local partners to tackle ASB.

“We know that anti-social behaviour has a significant impact on our residents, and we will continue to work with you to tackle crime and keep you safe.

“So then we can continue to work together to keep Pendle safe, please sign up to Lancashire Talking to have your say on matters that mean the most to you”

Police advise anyone who might want to report anti-social behaviour to do so to the relevant authority to ensure it can be properly tackled.
