POLICE have been stepping up their patrols in the Irvine town centre area in response to community concerns.

There is to be an increased presence of officers for the foreseeable future following recent reports of youth disorder and anti-social behaviour.

Cops will be both in and out of uniform as they look to work alongside partners to increase safety in the area.

Sergeant Will Thomson, from Irvine locality policing team, said: “Anti-social behaviour and disorder will not be tolerated in our town centres.

"Police Scotland is committed to working together with our partners in making our communities safer.

"I would appeal to the public to continue providing us with information.”
