Police officers are patrolling parks and town centres this summer to tackle antisocial behaviour.

Adur and Worthing Police have reassured the public the patrols will continue throughout the summer while children and teenagers are off school.

It comes after antisocial behaviour was reported across Worthing, Shoreham and Lancing at the start of the summer holidays.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "Officers continue to complete regular patrols of the parks and town centre, dealing with antisocial behaviour and any youth incidents.

"These patrols include liaising with members of the public and any children present to deter any ASB. These patrols will continue throughout the summer.

"If you are a victim or witness to antisocial behaviour, please report this on 101 or 999 in an emergency."

Several key areas are being patrolled including Shoreham High Street, Worthing town centre and beach areas.

Any residents with concerns are asked to approach police officers or report this online.

People should call 999 in an emergency.
