Anti-social behaviour hotspots in North Tyneside are being targeted in a multi-agency campaign this May bank holiday weekend.
Northumbria Police, North Tyneside Council and Nexus – which runs the Metro – are joining forces to clampdown on troublemakers. The move follows a spate of anti-social behaviour incidents on both the Metro and along the coastal strip over the Easter school holidays, most notably around Tynemouth and Cullercoats.
These included attacks on young people and serious youth disorder on the Metro, which saw Nexus take the unusual step of preventing trains stopping at Tynemouth station after a group of up to 30 teenagers took over a platform, smashing a carriage window and assaulting a security guard.
