Anti social behaviour crackdown within the Ogmore Valley following the success of Operations Benedict and Bellflower.
Following an increase in reported incidents of anti social behaviour being committed by local youths who were responsible for disabling First Cymru buses as they stopped to pick up and drop off passengers on Ogwy Street, Nantymoel members of the Ogmore Valley Neighbourhood Policing team (NPT) put together a special operation to deal with the problem.
As well as incidents reported directly to the police, concerns have also been raised by local residents and First Cymru buses following community consultation during PACT meetings and surgeries as well as Neighbourhood Watch and other community meetings.
The senseless and dangerous anti social behaviour acts committed by local youths led First Cymru buses to consider suspending the bus services from the Ogmore Valley during evening times.
Complaints had also been received by police from residents that local youths had been congregating in large numbers and causing a general by being very abusive and throwing stones and eggs at local residents’ premises.
