Arrest After Man Breaks Scarborough Town Centre Ban

A man was ordered to leave Scarborough Town Centre on Sunday after incidents of anti-social behaviour.

Whilst on patrols on Sunday (7th April 2024,) PCSO Switzer-Green and PCSO Pearcey encountered a local man in Scarborough's town centre who was acting in an anti-social manner.

The CCTV operators had also noted that the man had been approaching lone females in the street.

To prevent this from continuing, the officers issued the man with a direction to leave notice, preventing him from re-entering the town centre for a 48-hour period.

Sergeant Adam Marshall of Scarborough's Neighbourhood Policing Team said,

"We use direction to leave dispersals to prevent ongoing or the likeliness of continued anti-social behaviour. We are here to keep our communities safe, and we will use robust actions to do so."

However, the man, a 42 year old from Scarborough, was arrested for breaching the direction yesterday (Monday 8th April 24) and has now been charged to attend Scarborough Magistrates Court in the near future.

Sergeant Marshall said,

"This sends out a clear message to those who believe that their actions don't have consequences."
