INCREASED police patrols will be launched in Hampshire to stamp out antisocial behaviour over the summer months.

Test Valley Borough Council has joined forces with policing teams in Andover and Romsey and Hampshire County Council to launch Operation Twilight.

Test Valley Borough Council’s community safety team will lead the joint operation and involve frontline police officers, police community support officers (PCSOs), neighbourhood wardens and accredited community safety officers.

Hotspots will be targeted across the borough with highvisibility patrols to detect and deter antisocial behaviour.
