A BLITZ on yobs in Romsey is being rolled out as the summer months roll in.

Rowdy outdoor drinking and cannabis smoking spots will be patrolled and arrests made.

Called Operation Twilight, the joint operation will be led by Test Valley Borough Council’s, community safety team and involve front-line police officers, police community support officers, neighbourhood wardens and community safety officers.

Test Valley Borough Council leader Ian Carr said: “Antisocial behaviour has no place in our community and residents should be able to enjoy the light evenings and warmer weather without fear of it.

“This operation will send out a clear message that perpetrators of anti social behaviour will be held accountable for their actions and provide valuable reassurance to the local community.”
