Operation Centurion will now target areas within Darwen, St Annes, Morecambe, Clitheroe, Bacup, Colne, Leyland and Skelmersdale
Police are set to launch a major anti-social behaviour crackdown across Lancashire which will see patrols increased in eight "blighted" areas in a bid to make residents having to put up with nuisance yobs feel safer.
They work with neighbourhood police officers, councils, housing associations and key partners throughout Lancashire to shut down drug dens, seize nuisance bikes and secure arrests for those involved in a variety of offences from drug dealing to criminal damage. "The Constabulary has dedicated neighbourhood police officers in every area, and they are supported by the ASB, Prevention and Problem-Solving Command. This team is now operational and working with our partners to find long terms solutions to address the underlying issues that cause ASB in the first place.
