Police have announced a dispersal order covering much of a Welsh market town. In recent months Caldicot has reportedly been plagued by gangs of teenagers threatening people.
The order — which allows police to exclude people from an area for up to 48 hours — started at 7pm on Friday and will last until 7pm on Sunday. It applies to Caldicot Castle, the town centre and nearby residential streets.
Ceri, landlady at the Cross Inn on Newport Road, said around 10 youngsters were involved in aggressive behaviour on Friday night outside the pub. "They were threatening one of our customers for money," she said. "When they saw the police turn up, they walked away and the police followed them.
