Police have clamped down on misbehaving teens after incidents including a woman being spat on
A 48-hour dispersal order was issued by police in Colwyn Bay over the weekend to tackle anti-social behaviour by a group of teenage yobs.
Over the past month a group of around five teenagers, aged between 14 and 17, have been causing problems around Colwyn Bay and Old Colwyn.
The dispersal zone covered the area from Wynn Gardens, Old Colwyn, to King’s Road, Colwyn Bay.
The order gave police power to disperse groups of two or more people where their presence has resulted, or is likely to result, in a member of the public being harassed or distressed.
West Conwy Coastal Inspector Kelly Isaacs at North Wales Police said: “The group of teens have been misbehaving, and we will not tolerate this behaviour.
“They are from various schools and are not all from the Colwyn Bay area.
“A woman in her 50s was walking home from work, and she was shouted at and spat on by this group of teenagers.
“The spit landed on her jacket, and she was obviously distressed and shaken up by the incident."
She added: “There has also been bad behaviour in fast food outlets including KFC in Colwyn Bay, where food has been thrown around and bad verbal behaviour.
“Parents and their kids should be allowed to enjoy a KFC in peace.
“The teens carrying involved in this behaviour are well known to us.
“We have increased patrols in the area. No arrests were required this weekend.”
