Petrolheads warned of police patrolling this Newcastle location


Officers are cracking down on boy racers in the area

Patrols will be in place this evening to crack down on troublesome petrolheads. Staffordshire Police will be making the rounds at Wolstanton Retail Park this evening (Saturday April 25).

They will remain in the Newcastle area until just before midnight. It comes after a number of dispersal orders were set to tackle car cruising and anti-social behaviour over the weekend.

The orders were set from 6pm to 11pm yesterday (Friday April 24), and will be in play from 6pm until 11pm tonight. A spokesperson for Newcastle Police said: “The orders, made under Section 34 of the Anti-social Crime and Policing Act 2014, give officers the powers to direct individuals away from identified areas for up to 48 hours, to prevent ASB and crime including car cruising and anti-social driving.”
