Police say they are dealing with children setting fires and causing havoc on dirt bikes as they try to keep a lid on antisocial behaviour plaguing a village. A police dispersal order was put in place covering Langley Mill, with the force also upping patrols in response multiple incidents reported recently.
The dispersal order also covered Heanor and it ran from 5pm on Thursday, April 21, to 5pm on Saturday, April 23. It allowed police to disperse people from both areas and, if they were involved in anti-social behaviour, take anyone under 16 back to their home.
Villagers of Langley Mill had reported that teenagers and children racing on motocross bikes was the biggest anti-social issue affecting Langley Mill, and Derbyshire Police have now shared details of a number of incidents which led to the dispersal order, Derbyshire Live reports. A spokesperson for the force said: "Reports of anti-social behaviour and disorder include nuisance motorbike riding and dangerous cycling, damage, small fires, egg throwing and graffiti."
