A dispersal order was put in place in a town following a large car meet involving about 400 vehicles.

Police said it received a number of calls from concerned residents about anti-social behaviour and excessive noise, on Sunday night, around The Oaks retail park in Harlow, Essex.

To reduce "disruption" an order was brought in from 20:30 until 06:00 BST.

It covered a number of areas including River Way, Old Harlow, Church Langley and Harlow Town Centre.

Essex Police said: "The dispersal order gives officers additional powers to direct anyone acting anti-socially to leave the area."
