A dispersal order means that police can ask a group of two or more people to leave the area concerned if they are doing anything wrong, or if they believe that they may or are likely to cause a nuisance to someone else.

• The police may ask you to leave the area and not return to it within 24 hours.

• If you are younger than 16 and in the dispersal area without the supervision of an adult after 9pm, the police may take you home if it is safe to do so.

• If you return to the area after being asked to leave by the police, you will be arrested if seen.

North Wales Police added: “As long as you don’t do anything wrong, or give the police a reason to suspect you are going to do anything wrong, the dispersal order will not affect you.

“Parents and guardians: ensure you know where your young people are, and that they are aware of this order.

“We will not tolerate any further antisocial behaviour which impacts upon the wider community.”
