Trick or treat crackdown

A new way of combating anti social behaviour is being launched in Gloucestershire in time for Halloween night.

It's a partnership between the police, a council and housing associations. It's thought to be the first initiative of it's kind in the country.

Inspector Steve Wood says that the Project Solace van will have representatives from different agencies, like environmental health and housing, as well as the police, so they are ready to tackle anything they come across.

They'll also use social media to respond to calls for assistance from residents.
