A special anti-social behaviour order has been announced for Warwick this weekend by police.

A temporary Section 34 order is in place from 5pm this evening (17 October) to "make sure everyone can enjoy the Mop".

The order gives Warwickshire Police officers powers to direct anyone believed to be involved in anti-social behaviour to leave the area or be arrested.

It is in place until 4am on Sunday, 19 October.

"We want to make sure everyone enjoys the evening so we've taken this pre-emptive step to deter any anti-social behaviour.

"We'll be out through the evening and we're looking forward to chatting with you all.
