Six people were issued with notices banning them from sections of Tenby over the weekend.

The Section 27 notices can be issued in the circumstances that a person's presence is likely to cause or contribute to alcohol-related crime or disorder. 

The notice lasts up to 48 hours and covers any area specified by a police officer.

Inspector Tim Hoad, of Tenby Police Station, said: "The Direction to Leave is given to reduce the likelihood of alcohol-related crime and disorder in a public place, support law abiding citizens, and to help keep local neighbourhoods safe.

"If the offender is found within the restricted area, within the time limits set by the police officer, then they are liable to be arrested or receive a fine of £2,500.

"The Section 27 notice is an effective tool for the police in tackling incidents of anti-social behaviour. 

"In Tenby, it can be used to target persons partying on the beaches or persons visiting the town who are drunk, abusive and misbehaving. 

"We are already seeing positive results and the notices are now being regularly served."
