Widespread dispersal orders not required yet amid beach violence

Three arrests occurred on Bournemouth Beach following violent disturbances where police were attacked with bottles. Chief Superintendent Julie Howe attributed the chaos to out-of-county youth intent on causing disorder. She stressed that anyone looking to harm others should avoid Bournemouth, urging parents to monitor their children’s whereabouts and behavior. The police are prepared to escalate their response if necessary, deploying additional resources and utilizing Section 35 powers to disperse troublemakers. BCP Council leader Millie Earl emphasized that those wishing to create disorder are not welcome and called for increased funding and powers for local authorities to combat crime effectively.
