The rise of anti-social behaviour in an Oxford park will lead Thames Valley Police to step up its presence over the coming days.

Officers will use their relevant powers to investigate and deter any offences or further anti-social behaviour in University Parks, police said.

It follows reports of increased youth related anti-social behaviour in Mesopotamia Walk - also known as ‘the rollers’.

A police spokesperson said: “If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to approach our officers.

"If you are spoken to by an officer, please do not be worried as this does not mean that you are in trouble. 

“Officers who are out and about are there to reassure you as well as using any relevant powers to investigate and deter any offences or further anti-social behaviour.”
