Four 'anti-social' arrests made

Police using off-road motorcycles have arrested four people as part of a clampdown on anti-social behaviour.

The operation was launched to deal with problems experienced by residents in the Coney Hill, Abbeydale, Abbeymead and Barnwood areas of Gloucester.

Some residents had complained of underage drinking, drug taking, disorderly behaviour and motorcycles being driven on park land.

The four people arrested have since been released on police bail.

A police spokesman said the four-day operation involving CCTV, extra foot patrols and letter drops, was part of the force's ongoing commitment to deal with minor criminal damage.
