A message from North Yorkshire Police

All schools across the City of York have been asked to share the message below and ask you to speak to your child about it. Whilst two hotspot locations are mentioned, it is believed that young people are travelling from other areas of the city so this may be relevant even if you do not live in these areas.

Dear parents and carers
North Yorkshire Police Teams are experiencing a significant increase in calls for service regarding Youth Anti-Social Behaviour across the city.ย Current hotspots include the Foxwood and Haxby areas of the city.This anti-social behaviour includes criminal damage, littering, substance misuse, trespassing, knock-a-door-run and some noise complaints from residents.North Yorkshire Police want to support our youth population but also need to work with the community to increase community cohesion and reduce incidents in the city.ย Please consider where your child is socialising and what they are doing when out in the community.ย Even if you do not live in a hotspot area, please check where your child is travelling to when they are out and about.North Yorkshire Police and partner agencies are working to improve ASB across the city and hope you will join us in this.

Kind regards,

Inspector Nicholas Plumb
