Essex Police have issued a dispersal order due to reports of anti-social behaviour.

It is was initially put in place on Friday at 8pm and lasts until the same time on Sunday.

The order allows 'officers to disperse anyone behaving anti-socially to keep local communities safe.'

Inspector Les Durling said:

“We’ve put these powers in place to deal with offenders, disrupt and deter anyone intent on committing crime or disorder, and reduce the impact on local businesses and residents.

“We are investigating a group of individuals who we believe are responsible for causing these issues and will continue to carry out patrols and use the legislative powers available to us.

“I ask anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour, or has any information about these incidents, to report it to us.”
