No arrests were made while a dispersal order was in place in Rhymney over the weekend, Gwent Police has confirmed.
The dispersal order was in place in parts of the town between 4pm on Friday August 11 and 4pm on Sunday August 13.
It was put in place by Gwent Police after it received several reports of antisocial behaviour in the area.
It covered Rhymney High Street, Goshen Street, Tan y Lan Terrace, Upper High Street, Memorial Park, Rhymney RFC and the surrounding areas.
While a dispersal order is in place, police have the power to stop people from entering certain areas during the set time, if they believe they have engaged or will engage in antisocial behaviour.
If they return to those areas after being moved on, they face being arrested.
