More than 30 young people were moved on by police after gathering and causing trouble at a Llanelli McDonald's.
Dyfed-Powys Police received reports on Sunday evening that the youths were behaving anti-socially at the fast food chain branch at Trostre retail park, and in the car park area.
A Section 34 dispersal order was put in place giving police the power to move anyone believed to be causing a nuisance, harassment or distress out of the area.

Inspector Fencott-Price, from Dyed-Powys Police, said: “More than 30 young people had gathered and were subsequently moved on. The issue of a dispersal order was a deterrent to other young people who were planning on attending the area.
"We would appeal directly to parents to be aware of where their children are, and what they are doing. We will continue to put plans in place to deal with anti-social behaviour, using all powers available to us to put a stop to it.”
A spokesperson for McDonald’s said: "We are aware of some long-term anti-social behaviour issues which have impacted the retail park and surrounding area, and we continue to play a leading role as a business working to combat this by working closely with the local police.
"We continue to ensure that we remain a good neighbour and that our restaurant is a welcoming environment for our people and customers.”
