Liverpool Local policing Inspector Laura Chandler said: “Traditionally and historically Bonfire Night sees reports of groups of youths committing anti-social behaviour including setting off fireworks in public and causing damage to houses, cars, parks and street furniture.

“We know this type of behaviour causes fear and concern for people living in our communities and it is vital that we try to prevent it from happening or address it quickly.

“We know people want to enjoy Bonfire Night celebrations but will not tolerate it when they turn to criminality and disorder.

“We hope that our local communities welcome the interventions we have brought in as well as the high visibility police patrols we will have out and about this evening and we would ask anyone with concerns to speak to an officer on the street.

“ASB can also be reported to us via the Merseyside Police social media desk @MerPolCC on X and Facebook. You can also report information via our website: https://www.merseyside.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/ or call 101.
