Police officers crackdown on troublemakers
POLICE are continuing their crackdown on anti-social behaviour in a trouble-plagued neighbourhood.
Residents in Bentilee have made repeated complaints about yobs hanging around and causing a nuisance near the library and on residential streets.
Officers have now revealed they have issued repeat troublemakers with Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs).
A spokesman for Staffordshire Police said: "After investigation several youths from the estate, male and female, were identified and are now subject to ABCs.

"These contracts are an agreement between police, the young person, their parents and the local authority housing for the youngster to stay out of trouble for a period of six months.
"This route is taken before an Anti-social Behaviour Order (ASBO) is issued by a court, which is the next step should their behaviour not improve whilst on the ABC."
Residents will be updated on the success of the scheme at a police meeting at the Co-Op, in Ubberley Road, on Tuesday, March 4, from 4pm.
To report anti-social behaviour where you live, call Staffordshire Police on 101.
