What is a dispersal order?
The dispersal order gives officers extra powers to direct such groups (two or more) to leave the area if they are involved in anti-social behaviour or if officers think their behaviour may lead to anti-social behaviour.
If they return to that area after being moved on, they face being arrested.
A post from Gwent Police reads: "Officers will be out providing visible reassurance and will be working with our partners from Youth Services, Positive Futures and Caerphilly Borough Council, to tackle anti-social behaviour.
"We’d ask that parents ensure they know where their children are at all times."
