Police have banned 14 people from Mansfield's town centre following a spate of incidents including shop thefts and anti-social behaviour. The town's district police team said that officers undertook two "days of action" in Mansfield to increase safety in the area.
These took place on December 14 and 15 and as a result, 14 people were told to leave Mansfield's town centre and retail area for 48 hours. This action is known as a dispersal order, when police can instruct groups to leave a certain area if their presence or behaviour has resulted, or is likely to result, in the public being harassed or intimidated.
