A CRACKDOWN on antisocial behaviour in Salisbury’s nightlife saw multiple people stopped and searched and three arrested.

Operation Armania returned to the city centre last Friday (July 25), after officers previously launched it back in June.

The operation tasked officers, who were joined by colleagues from Response, Antisocial Behaviour (ASB) wardens and the Special Constabulary, to take part in high-visibility patrols to proactively tackle antisocial behaviour and violent offences.

“Across the evening officers engaged with the public and moved on individuals at risk of breaching the public spaces protection order,” a Salisbury Police spokesperson said.

As well as multiple stop and searches, the operation saw one person arrested from a positive Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act Stop and Search, an outstanding offender arrested, and another arrest for theft and public order.

Operation Armania will return for the last weekend of August.
