Northamptonshire Police are asking members of the public to report any incidents of anti-social behaviour.

Officers said they were seeing reports of anti-social behaviour on Facebook as opposed to it being reported. They said reporting incidents enables police to deal with the situation quicker.

If you witness anti-social behaviour, you can report it to police by calling 101. In an emergency, call 999.
