Anti Social Behaviour

Youths Targeting Local Taxi Firms at Tesco, Failsworth

There have been recent reports of groups of youths congregating around the taxi rank area at Tesco in Failsworth and engaging in anti-social behaviour directed towards local taxi drivers. Incidents reported include verbal abuse, intimidation, banging on vehicles, and causing a nuisance to drivers waiting for fares.

Such behaviour can have a significant impact on local businesses and the wider community. Taxi drivers should remain vigilant, avoid confrontation where possible, and report any incidents promptly, providing descriptions of those involved where safe to do so.

Members of the public who witness anti-social behaviour are encouraged to report it to the police via 101, or through Crimestoppers anonymously if appropriate. In an emergency or where there is an immediate threat to safety, always dial 999.

Working together with local businesses, security staff, and the community can help identify those responsible and reduce further incidents.
