Reports of youths causing trouble in Abbots Langley have increased over the school half term according to police.

At a parish council meeting yesterday, it was revealed that there have been further problems on the High Street, but CCTV footage obtained by local officers has helped identify who is causing trouble.

Sergeant Neil Canning said: “There has been generally low level nuisance problems with local youths, such as swearing at passers-by.

“This increases periodically over the half term period and summer holiday period.

“The team is fully committed to dealing with these anti-social issues and is currently gathering evidence with a view to issuing anti-social behaviour orders to persistent offenders.”
