South Wales Police say officers have been given additional powers to direct people to leave King Square, following continued incidents of anti-social behaviour, fighting and criminal damage.
Inspector Huw Tyler from South Wales Police said: “We are committed to keeping Barry safe and putting a stop to this recent rise in anti-social behaviour."
The order, granted under Section 34 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, is in place from Friday, October 23 until Sunday, October 25.
The order enables officers to direct individuals or groups to leave the area for 48 hours if their behaviour has or is likely to contribute to disorder or cause harassment, alarm, or distress to members of the public.
Those who are under the age of 16 and subject to this legislation will be taken home or to a place of safety.
Inspector Tyler added: "Everyone has the right to feel safe, wherever they are, and nobody should be subjected to threats, verbal abuse, and anti-social behaviour.
“We urge parents and guardians to speak to their young people about not getting involved in anti-social behaviour. Please also check who they are associating with, what they are doing and where they are.
“Anti-social behaviour referrals have already been submitted in relation to a number of young people, and their parents have been spoken to.”
Directed patrols by the Neighbourhood Policing Team are also continuing in King Square, with South Wales Police asking the public to keep reporting incidents and providing information via 101, quoting 2600330962.
