Prostitutes and kerb crawlers are being targeted in red light districts

New action is to be taken against prostitutes touting for business in parts of Norwich.
Police say that after two warnings are issued to prostitutes, an Anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) can be applied for to exclude them from certain areas.
If caught for a third time after an ASBO is issued, prostitutes could face imprisonment for up to five years.

Inspector Brian Pincher from Norfolk Police said: "We believe this is a more effective way of dealing with these matters.
