Police crackdown in troubled town
Police are clamping down on anti-social behaviour in a Gloucestershire town.

Residents have complained about people gathering in Coleford's car parks during the night, revving their engines and playing loud music.

Officers will now be making extra patrols and have issued intelligence-gathering kits to people in the neighbourhood.

These include a card for recording car registration numbers, which can be sent anonymously to police.

People involved in the disturbances are being warned that unless they stop, they face anti-social behaviour orders banning them from the town centre.
