Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and robust action will be taken
A bus shelter in Ormskirk was smashed up by youths during mischief night, which has resulted in them being banned from the town for six months.
Lancashire Police were out in force on Wednesday night patrolling anti-social hotspots in the run up to Halloween and Bonfire night.
A majority of the community didn’t cause any issues, and Police have thanked them as a result.
In a social media post made today, Lancashire Police said:
“We would like to thank the majority of our Community who did not cause any issues last night for ‘Mischief Night’. Numerous Officers were deployed to Anti-Social Behaviour Operations in and around West Lancashire with the aim of targeting trouble makers.
Advice was given to call in all incidents of ASB so we can deal with it robustly, we would like to thank those who did.
Unfortunately, three youths did not get the memo. They decided to smash up a bus stop in Ormskirk. They found themselves in handcuffs and under arrest. They are now banned from Ormskirk for six months 🚓
We continue to work closely with our local schools and will identify anyone who is causing issues in our area.
We will not tolerate any criminality or Anti-Social Behaviour in West Lancashire and encourage people to report incidents online, 101 or 999 as appropriate.”
