Anti-social behaviour Bewdley

The Bewdley Safer Neighbourhood Team have recently had a few reports from local residents about youths causing a nuisance of themselves by throwing eggs at properties.  This may, on the surface seem trivial, however the affected occupants can be left very shaken (elderly or young) as well as them having to clear up the mess left behind. 

Parents, I would ask that you find out what your children are up to, where they are going and who with when they are out and about. Discuss the consequences with them of causing a nuisance or being in a group who are. 

The last think you want is a visit from the police at your home address or them getting criminal convictions for damage or harassment. 

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:

Here are some examples of ASB that isn’t a police matter and your local council could be informed on:

In an emergency, if you or your property are at risk, or a crime is in progress call 999.
