Drug dealers and offenders committing criminal damage have been targeted
Police in Lancashire have arrested more than 3,500 people as part of a major crackdown operation on anti-social behaviour.
In April this year, Lancashire Police added an intelligence-led operation targeting anti-social driving as part of Op Centurion which has resulted in 2688 people summoned, 2344 Sec 59s, 2148 Sec 165s and 1661 Speeding Offences to date. Op Centurion is the force's county-wide response to ASB, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw.
"Anti-social behaviour has the potential to cause a significant amount of harm and distress to people. It is unacceptable and we will not tolerate it. I urge the public to not suffer in silence and to please report ASB to the relevant authority." Op Centurion also aims to ensure that residents know how to report ASB to the relevant authority, which isn't always the police. Lancashire Police work in partnership with other agencies such as local Councils and Housing Associations to tackle the different types of ASB appropriately.
