Local Priorities

The St Austell Neighbourhood Policing Team are committed to working with partner agencies and the community to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB).

ASB is conduct that causes (or is likely to cause) harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household of the offender.

Please if you do witness an ASB incident, report it to us at the time it's taking place, this will provide us with the best opportunity to identify the persons concerned and take appropriate action with our partner agencies.

Issued: 2 Apr 2026

Status Update

With the recent good weather we have had a rise in ASB issues being reported, some of these incident have been reported while they are ongoing which has allowed us to attend, identify the persons who have been causing the issues and deal with them via the ASB process.
However we are still seeing ASB issues being reported after they have taken place which means the actions we can take are limited or instead the incidents are not being reported to us at all and instead put on social media. We need you as the community to report these issues to us at the time when they are taking place to allow us the best chance to take positive action.

Actioned: 1 May 2026
