Inspector Deb Charlesworth commented: "This behaviour will not be tolerated, and we will act accordingly.”
“The dispersal order gives officers the power to ask a group of two or more people to leave the dispersal area if they are committing anti-social behaviour, or if we believe they may, or are likely to, cause a nuisance to someone else.”
He added: "We would urge members of the public to continue reporting any incidents of anti-social behaviour to us by calling 101.
"Always call 999 in an emergency."
