Anti-social behaviour guidance

Dear Resident

We are working hard to tackle Anti-social behaviour (ASB) in Lea Lane, Cookley and the information provided to us by residents can be essential in taking action to make a difference where you live. We have had reports of two different groups of youths acting in an anti social manner. One group, believed to be local children aged between 10yrs - 16yrs are approaching properties in Lea Lane and causing damage, causing distress to the residents involved. Parents do you know where your children are when out on an evening and who they are with?  

We also have had reports of a larger group of youths aged 15 - 18yrs who are causing issues in the village and along lea lane, some believed to be local but also some from out of area. 

If you live in this area and have cctv or names that can help us with our enquiries, please contact the team on Kidderminsternorth.snt@westmercia.police.uk  

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

Some ASB incidents might be an issue for your local council so it may be useful to know to who contact.

Here are some examples of ASB that we want to know about:
