Great Yarmouth police officers have been out patrolling anti-social behaviour hotspots.

Beat Managers PC George Smith and PC Dale Chusonis have been carrying out regular evening patrols in Great Yarmouth in response to reports of anti-social behaviour, and to help people feel a bit safer as the nights draw in.

Patrols were carried out in locations including St George's Park and the Wellesley Recreation Ground.

A statement from Great Yarmouth Police said: "Their patrols, and those of other officers, have taken them through hotspots such as St George's Park, Nelson Road, and Wellesley Recreation Ground, among other areas in North and South Yarmouth."

The evening patrols by PCs Smith and Chusonis come as Great Yarmouth Police support Alcohol Awareness Week.

Officers have taken part in a number of "pop-up engagement events" across the Great Yarmouth and Gorleston area, including at Martham's Co-op, East Norfolk Sixth-Form College, Magdalen Square, and Yarmouth Town Centre.
