A DISPERSAL order has been put in place in a town centre for another weekend.
Cleveland Police put the order in place in Stockton to try and prevent further incidents of antisocial behaviour and crime.
It will cover the town centre, including Riverside Road, Maritime Road, Wilson Street, Victoria Street, Prince Regent Street and Bridge Street.
It also incorporates Bright Street, Russell Street and Dovecot Street.
The order gives police the power to disperse large groups of youths from the area for a period of 48 hours.
Anyone who does not comply or returns to the area within 48 hours can be arrested.
A similar order was in place last weekend, and there was also one from February 19 to 21 after reports of antisocial behaviour and large groups of youths.
