HALESOWEN police have been stepping up patrols in Belle Vale following reports of persistent anti-social behaviour in the area.
With the support of a dog handler, Halesowen officers detained a number of men acting suspiciously in Crimmond Rise last night (Friday January 14).
Officers took to Twitter to highlight their efforts to crack down on the problem, saying: "Following reports of persistent ASB, Halesowen officers with the support of @cartmonthedog attended Crimmond Rise, Belle Vale, and detained a number of males who were acting suspiciously.
"No arrests were made and the males were given words of advice before being dispersed."
Are there any locations you think police should be focussing on to help stamp out anti-social behaviour?
