On Monday 3rd September 2012 at 21:20 hrs PCSO's Michelle Brady and Mark Ball stopped and spoke with a group of young persons who were drinking alcohol in the park. All alcohol was immediately seized and disposed of. The group were subsequently escorted from the park and instructed not to return that evening.
In the past month there have been three incidents of criminal damage and one incident of shoplifting on the ward. Kent Police are investigating two reports of nuisance youths in Enbrook Road and the Golden Valley shops, one incident of a nuisance vehicle in Freemantle Road and one incident of obstruction in Castle Road. I have been supplied with some names of those responsible and will be following these up.
