Dispersal order imposed in Llanelli after rise in antisocial behaviour

A DISPERSAL order has been authorised for the Trostre Retail and Pemberton Park areas of Llanelli, giving officers extra powers to tackle antisocial behaviour.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the order was brought in following an increase in antisocial behaviour over the past week.

The notice took effect at 12:00pm on Saturday (Jan 17) and will remain in place until 12:00am on Monday, January 19.

Under the order, officers can direct anyone who is causing — or is likely to cause — harassment, alarm or distress to leave the area. Police also have powers to seize property they suspect is being used to cause antisocial behaviour.

Anyone who refuses to comply is committing a criminal offence and may be arrested.

The dispersal order covers:

  • Trostre Retail Park, Llanelli
  • Tesco Stores, Trostre, Llanelli
  • McDonalds, Llanelli
  • Parc Pemberton, Llanelli
  • Morrisons Store, Llanelli
  • Premier Inn, Llandafen Rd, Llanelli

Members of the public are urged to report antisocial behaviour to police online, by emailing [email protected], or by calling 101. In an emergency, always dial 999.
