Nottinghamshire Police say they are cracking down on anti-social behaviour which is "blighting" Beeston and Chilwell. The force said targeted action and patrols following recent reports had resulted in the behaviour plummeting by almost a third since August.
However, inspector Mike Ebbins, district commander of the Broxtowe district, said he and colleagues were not getting complacent. “We’ve been made aware anti-social behaviour has spiked again in these areas," he said.
"We have listened to those concerns and are taking positive action to address them. Despite our success in reducing problems through our Operation Potassium work, we are not complacent and cracking down on anti-social behaviour very much remains one of our top priorities."
