POLICE have issued multiple orders allowing them to move individuals in a bid to crack down on antisocial behaviour.
Officers from Dorset police have been completing priority patrols on Wednesday, September 25, as part of Operation Relentless.
They aim to target ASB hotspots in Bournemouth and Westbourne.
While on duty, officers issued three Section 35 dispersal orders; one male was asked to move for causing ASB in Bournemouth town.
A female begging for money and targeting the elderly was issued a s35 order, as well as the man who was caught shoplifting.
A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: “Section 35 is a great tool for officers that disperses people from a geographical area for a period of time, up to 48 hrs when authorised by an Inspector.
“This is often used when the victims of offences do not want to make a formal complaint to police. We use it to try and reduce the risk of similar problems, that are likely to reoccur, if no action is taken.”
