Officers have been granted special police powers to deal with anti-social behaviour in Aintree this weekend.
A dispersal zone has been put in place from today, Friday, April 8, after reports of criminal behaviour from children. The order will run until 11.59pm on Saturday, April 9, when it will be further reviewed.
Police have received increase reports of 'groups of youths' gathering in the Aintree area that are causing harassment, alarm, and distress to residents and businesses in the community. As a result officers now have the power to seize any item, including vehicles, used in the commission of anti-social behaviour.
