Six People Served With Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions

Injunctions have been secured against six people as part of ongoing work to tackle anti-social behaviour in Cambridge.

The injunctions are part of a crack down on begging, rough sleeping, drug taking, street drinking and associated crime within the city.

Following months of evidence gathering by Cambridge City Council and the Cambridge Neighbourhood Policing Team, the injunctions under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2014 were sought against the group and on 11 November orders were granted against the following five men and a woman at Cambridge County Court (the orders were served on the individuals on 18 November).

The two-year order prohibits the individuals from carrying out the following within the exclusion zone (pictured):

Sergeant Kevin Misik who leads the Cambridge neighbourhood team, said: “We have been working closely alongside our partner agencies for some months now to address the behaviour of these individuals which has caused misery to residents of and visitors to the city. I’m pleased this injunction has been imposed and urge anyone who believes them to be in breach of it to contact us.”
