Police in Wiltshire have made arrests and dealt with breaches of a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) during a month of activity.

Officers in Devizes, Marlborough, Pewsey and surrounding villages have been busy carrying out patrols and responding to concerns raised by residents.

Police assisted with the arrest and transportation of a suspect who was allegedly breaching the dispersal order in Devizes Market Place.

A separate arrest was also made in Market Place for a breach of the PSPO, while officers carried out regular patrols to ensure the order was being upheld.

Police have urged members of the public to report any breaches of the current PSPO by calling 101.



They have asked people to provide as much information as possible, including the number of people involved, whether alcohol was being consumed, descriptions of the individuals and their location.

The team also dealt with a drunk man in Marlborough High Street who was reportedly causing issues for passers-by.

Elsewhere, officers conducted rural visits around Marlborough and Pewsey and assisted with additional patrols following recent reports of hare coursing in the area.

Residents with concerns can approach officers while they are out and about or contact the team by emailing DevizesAreaNPT@wiltshire.police.uk
