Anti-Social Behaviour, Carlton

Anti-Social Behaviour, Carlton

NYP have recently received reports of low-level anti-social behaviour in the village of Carlton, particularly during teatime hours and at weekends along Low Street.

Incidents reported include groups of young people knocking on doors, banging on properties, and causing nuisance to residents while travelling through the village. At this time, there is no information to suggest that any particular addresses are being targeted; the behaviour appears to be opportunistic in nature.

We understand that some residents have discussed similar incidents on local social media pages. However, we would encourage anyone experiencing this behaviour to report it directly to North Yorkshire Police so that an accurate picture of the issue can be established and patrols can be directed appropriately.

We would also ask parents and guardians to speak with their children about being considerate and respectful within the community, particularly when socialising with friends around the village. What may be seen as harmless behaviour can cause alarm, distress and inconvenience to residents.

Please can we also remind parents that the use of e-scooters by children is illegal.

If you witness anti-social behaviour, please report it to North Yorkshire Police via 101 or online. In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, always call 999.

Working together as a community helps us keep the village a safe and pleasant place for everyone.
