PENARTH'S Neighbourhood Policing team say they stopped large groups travelling into Penarth this weekend from Barry.
A Tweet from the Vale of Glamorgan South Wales Police account said that Penarth NPT "worked successfully with British Transport Police to stop a number of large groups making their way to Penarth from Barry."
Police took their details and educated the groups about Covid regulations and anti-social behaviour.
South Wales Police launched an "operation" this weekend after anti-social behaviour, underage drinking and violence erupted in the town centre on Saturday 14 November.
Fireworks were thrown and a police officer was assaulted, leading to three youths being arrested for "various offences".
A police spokesperson told Nub News that additional officers wouldl be on patrol this weekend and the force's CCTV van would be used as a deterrent.
British Transport Police were called to support this weekend's operation.
School liaison officers also attended secondary schools to provide a lesson on the dangers of fireworks and to educate pupils on what they can expect if they are found to be committing anti-social behaviour.
