A dispersal order is now active in three North Wales villages due to a troubling group of youths causing disturbances
Wrexham: A dispersal order is now in effect in three villages. This is due to a group of youths causing trouble. The areas affected are Ponciau, Rhosllanerchrugog, and Johnstown.
These youths have been intimidating people and causing issues in shops. The order will stay in place until Monday night. Police are stepping up patrols in these areas.
The dispersal order gives officers the power to move groups along. They can also ban individuals from returning to these spots. It’s a serious measure to tackle anti-social behavior.
North Wales Police mentioned that they’ve seen a rise in incidents since late October. They’ve received reports of large groups causing a nuisance in public spaces.
Police are urging parents to talk to their kids about this. They want parents to know where their children are and what they’re doing. It’s important for community safety.
On social media, some folks expressed their concerns. One person said it’s sad that youths feel the need to gang up. It gives them a false sense of power over others.
Another commenter suggested that the order should last a few weekends. It seems many are hoping for a quick resolution to this issue.
