Police given extra powers in Croydon to prevent youth anti-social behaviour
Briefly

Police in Croydon have established a Section 35 Dispersal Zone in response to rising incidents of shoplifting and criminal damage committed by groups of school-aged teenagers. This order, authorized by Inspector Holliday, grants officers the authority to remove individuals from public spaces for up to 48 hours in the Broad Green and Fairfield wards. The dispersal zone, effective from March 6 to March 7, aims to mitigate distress caused to the community by anti-social behavior, particularly around key areas such as Centrale Shopping Centre and local train stations.
