A DISPERSAL zone is being put in place in an area of Sutton following reports of anti-social behaviour.
Police say there have been cases around the Brotherhood Drive area of Sutton, which has led to them implementing a dispersal order in the area (see highlighted within the image below).

The dispersal order will run from 4pm today (Friday) 4pm on Sunday, May 26.
This means that any constable or PCSO can issue a dispersal notice to an individual aged 10 or older who they believe has contributed to or is likely to contribute to anti-social behaviour.
That person will be directed to leave the area outside of the dispersal zone and cannot return within 48 hours.
Failing to comply is an offence and any persons would be liable, on summary conviction, to imprisonment or fine.
Anyone under 16 that is issued with a dispersal notice will be taken home by police.
