Rob Grey, Neighbourhood Inspector for Burnley, said: "It’s good to see that two vehicles causing nuisance have been taken off the roads and are no longer likely to cause issues for people going about their daily business in Burnley Town Centre. We will continue to tackle the issues and concerns raised to us by our residents working with partner agencies to make Burnley a safe place to live, work and visit.
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Andrew Snowden said: "Anti-social behaviour is a blight on our communities and an issue that residents repeatedly raise with me, which is why I have made it a priority in my Fighting Crime Plan for Lancashire. I'm absolutely committed to cracking down on anti-social behaviour and I will continue to work closely with the Chief Constable to ensure the Constabulary has the resources needed to get tough on ASB and keep our communities safe.
