Dispersal Orders Enforce Anti-Car Meet Measures in Essex, Surrey Towns

Police have imposed dispersal orders in multiple towns, including Harlow, Epping, and Staines, to address concerns over large gatherings associated with anti-social behavior and dangerous driving. In Harlow and Epping, the order targets unauthorized car meets where vehicles have been driving at excessive speeds and performing dangerous maneuvers; officers have the authority to remove those involved and ban them from returning for 48 hours. The dispersal order in these Essex towns is effective from the evening of Saturday until early Sunday morning, with police emphasizing that it will not affect law-abiding residents. Similarly, in Staines, Surrey Police have enforced a dispersal order covering much of the town center and surrounding areas from early Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening to prevent criminal and anti-social activities. Authorities have urged the public to report any incidents promptly and reiterated their commitment to robustly addressing anti-social behavior to ensure public safety. Police presence will be increased in all affected areas to enforce these orders and deter dangerous conduct.
