NEIGHBOURHOOD police officers attended Sandbanks Beach car park yesterday to deal with an unauthorised encampment.

A section 61 was issued early on Wednesday, July 27, due to disruption caused by a camp at the car park.

Officers returned mid afternoon and engaged with the group. The group has now left the location.

A Dorset Police spokesperson said: "Poole Police have dealt with a reasonable number of UAE's this year so far.

"Fortunately all groups dealt with have been amenable and receptive and moved on when required to do so."
