🚨 Swansea’s city centre is buzzing with activity, but not all of it is welcome. A wave of youth “violence and disorder” over the weekend prompted a 48-hour police crackdown. South Wales Police have stepped up with a Section 35 dispersal order to tackle anti-social behaviour. It empowers officers to move people away, even if they’re not breaking the law — refusal can lead to criminal charges!
🔍 Areas impacted include the bustling Swansea Bus Station, Swansea Quadrant, the lively Parc Tawe, and the iconic Kingsway. This follows another recent order to curb behaviours deemed intolerable by authorities.
👮♂️ Arrests have been made, one shockingly involving a 14-year-old girl who assaulted a police officer. Parents, it’s time to check up on your kids and ensure they’re staying out of trouble. Don’t end up like one mum who had to pick up her son from custody over the weekend!
🚶♀️ Everyone should feel safe enjoying Swansea’s vibrant city life without harassment or disruption. So, extra patrols are on the streets to make sure we all can soak up the sunshine in peace.
