POLICE have issued a dispersal order in Blaenau Gwent, in a bid to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area.
The 48-hour order came into effect in Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent at 6.10pm on Monday, October 7, and will remain in place until Wednesday, October 9, at 6.10pm.
Dispersal orders give officers the power to direct groups to leave an area if they are involved in anti-social behaviour or disorder, if members of the public are being harassed or distressed or if officers think their behaviour may lead to anti-social behaviour.
Gwent Police said in a post on X (formerly Twitter): "Any person in the area acting in an anti social manner will be ordered to leave"
A 48 hour Dispersal Order has been authorised from 6:10pm this evening until 6:10pm on Wednesday the 9th, at the Gwent Shopping Centre & surrounding streets.
