Groups of youths are causing 'havoc' in a Nottinghamshire town by climbing on shop roofs and intimidating shoppers, prompting a police response. Residents feel anti-social behaviour is growing problem in Arnold - with some people feeling unsafe.
Gedling MP Tom Randall has had a number of residents write to him about their concerns of anti-social behaviour in the town centre and Front Street, as well as McDonald's becoming "a hotspot." He stated: “Today, the Government hit its 20,000 new police office recruitment target and I am pleased over 400 extra police officers are on the streets of Gedling and Nottinghamshire, helping to keep us safe.
"Gedling’s Neighbourhood Policing Inspector has assured me that the police are in talks with local businesses regarding improving the security of their buildings to prevent youths gaining access, particularly to roofs along Front Street in Arnold. I am also pleased that the Police will be carrying out an operation throughout the summer with an increased Police presence.
