Selby Police say they will be stepping up patrols in Barlby after reports of incidents of anti-social behaviour in the village at night.

As part of Operation Dot, officers from other areas of the Selby district are conducting patrols targeting the youths causing trouble.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “There is a dispersal authority in place for the evening which grants officers additional powers including that to remove under 16s to their home address if it is believed they cause harassment, alarm or distress or engage in ASB.”
