Wiltshire Police has upped patrols in an area of Swindon following reports of anti-social behaviour.
Officers have been spending time in the area of Abbey Meads Medical Centre, providing a high-visibility presence to reassure local residents.
The exact nature of the unsavoury behaviour is unknown, but speculation suggests that youths have been causing a nuisance in the late evenings.
Officers are reminding people to report their concerns to the police by calling 101, or 999 if a crime is in progress.
The more calls to Wiltshire Police about a specific issue, the more likely officers will be assigned to the area in a bid to target the alleged offending.
