It really is heartbreaking to see this once thriving Seaside town in such decline.
North Wales Police have issued a 48-hour dispersal order covering parts of Llandudno over the bank holiday weekend. It comes after a number of incidents over the past two days led to 10 youths being arrested across the west Conwy district.
The order comes into force on Saturday, April 29, at 1pm and will remain in force until 1pm on Monday, May 1.
Police say they will also be visibly stepping up patrols in Llandudno over the weekend as the town welcomes the return of the popular Victorian Extravaganza.
A message from District Inspector Steve Pawson posted on the force's social media pages said: "In response to the recent incidents of Anti-social behaviour, over the last 48 hours, 10 youths have been arrested for several different offences across the West Conwy District. These have involved arrests for offences against persons, public order offences and burglary.
"They are all live investigations, so I am not able to provide further details, however I want to reassure the community that anti-social behaviour and criminal offending will continue to be dealt with proportionately and robustly. It is important to remember that this is a small minority of children behaving in an antisocial manner.
"Such behaviour affects all sections of our communities including children. My teams continue to work with partners and third-sector groups to prevent and deter children and teens from engaging in this type of behaviour, thereby keeping the community safe.
"I would encourage parents and carers to play their part, and ensure they know where their young people are. Where there is clear criminality there will be appropriate application of the Criminal Justice system."
He said the dispersal order gives officers (including PCSO’s) the power to disperse a group of people who are causing, or are likely to cause a nuisance, harassment, distress, or public safety concern. Failure to comply with the order, or returning to the dispersal area may result in police returning young people under 16 to their homes. For adults, failure to comply with an order could be treated as an offence and you could be convicted, fined or issued with a term in prison of up to three months.
He added: "However, I would like to stress that adults and young people who are behaving themselves have nothing to fear from this order – all are welcome to enjoy this great event in our beautiful town. Finally, I’d like to thank our local community for your continued support.
"Please be assured we are working hard to ensure that the very small number of people perpetrating these crimes do not disproportionately impact on the vast majority of law-abiding residents and visitors."
