Police have ramped up patrols in a Wiltshire town following anti-social behaviour incidents in the area.
At the start of May, Wiltshire Police confirmed the Calne Neighbourhood Policing Team would be increasing patrols around the Skate Bowl and Castlefields Park in Calne.
These patrols continued over the last seven days and, in a recent update, officers confirmed they had been targeting the Skate Bowl, the Recreation Ground, and other locations.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Officers carried out rural and high-visibility patrols across our parks, including the Skate Bowl, the Recreation Ground, local fishing lakes and housing estates over the weekend, helping to keep our communities safe and tackle anti-social behaviour.
“It was great to see so many children and families out enjoying the sunshine.”
