Anti-Social Behaviour

With the Summer holidays approaching, there is a often an increase in reports of Anti-Social behaviour. Anti-Social Behaviour ( ASB) is an action that is deemed to cause harm, alarm or distress to individuals, communities, or neighbourhoods. Examples of ASB:

• Vandalism or graffiti
• Loud or persistent noise
• Intimidation or harassment
• Drug or alcohol misuse in public
• Littering or fly-tipping on private land
• Nuisance vehicles or reckless driving
• Groups causing fear or disruption

If you are affected by anti-social behaviour, you can report it either to us, or a local authority, depending on the type of behaviour. Please call 999  (if the incident is in process at that time) or if non urgent  please report on 101 or online at Report anti-social behaviour | Avon and Somerset Police
