Antisocial behaviour involving the use of a catapult has led to increased police patrols near train tracks in Southampton

The 'ongoing' antisocial behavioural issues are said to be 'more concerning' due to their proximity to the tracks. 

A post on Facebook yesterday from Hampshire Constabulary read: "[Officers are] out on cycle patrol in and around the areas we have been having ongoing ASB issues involving Catapult use.

"It is even more concerning, given the risk posed from the train track.

"If you have any info regarding these issues, please call us on 101."

The Daily Echo has contacted Hampshire Constabulary for more information about the location and nature of the incidents.
