Police are asking Evercreech residents to help target patrols following concerns about anti-social behaviour. In an update published on Tuesday, 29 September, the neighbourhood team said information from the community would help officers respond more effectively.

Police said patrols were taking place in areas where they believed they were most needed. They acknowledged the effect anti-social behaviour could have on residents and asked witnesses to report incidents.

The team said reports could help identify problem locations and establish when officers should attend. Residents were also encouraged to share information about those involved.

Police said: "No piece of information is too small and everything you tell us helps build a clearer picture." The appeal follows an earlier September update confirming patrols in Evercreech.

Residents can report non-emergency incidents through 101 or the police's online reporting services. In an emergency, they should call 999.
