West Mercia Police have confirmed reports of “anti-social behavior and dangerous driving in and around Arleston and Leegomery”.

“I want to reassure the public that all reports of antisocial behavior and dangerous driving will be taken extremely seriously.
“Safer Neighborhood Team officials will be in touch with those who reported these incidents to us and we will review dashcam footage as part of the investigation.”
