A POLICE crackdown on anti-social behaviour at Irvine Beach Park has continued.

Last week, a teenager was arrested in the area in connection with dangerous driving and other road traffic offences.

On Tuesday, February 24, officers were called to the popular beauty spot once again.

It followed reports that drivers were using their vehicles to harass and cause alarm to other members of the public.

As a result, further police enquiries were carried out which led to a number of motorists being handed Anti-social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs).

A force spokesperson said: "On the evening of Tuesday, February 24, road policing officers were called to Irvine Beach Park regarding reports of anti-social behaviour of drivers who were using their vehicles to harass and cause alarm to other members of the public.

"Thanks to assistance from our divisional colleagues, and North Ayrshire Council CCTV operators, the offending vehicles and drivers were quickly identified and issued with Anti-social Behaviour Orders.

"If you have any concerns regarding road safety please report them by calling 101 - in an emergency always dial 999 - or report anonymously via CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111."
