UPDATED: 2 teenagers have been arrested outside McDonalds in Newport this afternoon (Monday) – the latest incident of anti social behaviour in the town.
Police have taken to the streets in the area of St James’ Street and South Street where 2 teenage girls are reported to have been arrested and carted off in the back of a Police van.
It is understood that an operation to disperse large groups from the area has been undertaken by Hampshire Constabulary today.
