A teenager has been arrested and police investigations continue into a spate of anti-social behaviour on Saturday.
Police were called to Holbeach again after a group of youths were reported in both Tesco and Aldi causing trouble. There were also problems at the town’s Dragon Pearl Chinese where criminal damage has been reported and officers are still investigating the circumstances.
Investigations into what happened at both Tesco and Aldi are ongoing, said a police spokesman.
“We would encourage residents to continue reporting incidents through the appropriate channels and to provide any information, images or footage they may have via the appropriate channels,” said Insp Paul Smith of the South Holland Neighbourhood Policing Team.
“We fully recognise the concerns being raised by residents, businesses and community groups about recent incidents of anti-social behaviour.
“A small number of individuals have been responsbible for behaviour that has caused alarm, distress and disruption within our communities. We want to reassure residents that we are listening.
“This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We are using all appropriate powers available to identify those responsible, prevent further offending and protect our communities.”
Holbeach was subject to a 48-hour dispersal order for a weekend last month after a rise in public disorder reports.
And just last week Insp Smith was urging parents and guardians to speak to their children about the consequences of taking part in anti social behaviour.
“Our approach is always to engage early, offering support and opportunities to young people to make positive choices.”
Members of the public were urged to help clean up at Dragon Pearl after the latest incident. A social media post highlighted the issue and encouraged others to help the owners clean up.
Both Tesco and Aldi were approached for comment but had not responded at the time of going to press.
