Police have called on residents to report anti-social behaviour in their neighbourhoods, as they attempt to crack down on offences.

Officers from the Chelmsford and Maldon Community Teams have been recently supporting a number of villages in the Dengie Peninsula to deal with anti-social behaviour in the community.

Anti-Social Behaviour can take on many forms, from aggressive, noisy or abusive behaviour to neighbourhood disturbances involving drugs, abandoned cars or animals.

Police say reporting will help them keep people safe and prevent anti-social behaviour.
