The order allows officers to seize anything that could be used in anti-social behaviour in the dispersal order area

A dispersal order is in place in parts of Chesterfield over concerns in anti-social behaviour.

It covers the town centre and areas around Technique Stadium, including Whittington Moor, Stonegravels, Newbold and Tapton, until midnight on Monday.

Derbyshire Police said events in the town and the Chesterfield FC home fixture "may make for a busier than normal" bank holiday.

Officers will have additional powers to disperse people from those areas.

Police can also impose short-term bans on individuals returning to a specified area, and take anyone under 16 home if they are involved in anti-social behaviour.
