A man has been temporarily banned from an area of Weymouth town centre.

If the man refuses to follow the order, he will be arrested.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said on Tuesday: “A male has just been issued with a Section 35 Dispersal Order directing him to leave the area of Weymouth town centre.

“If the male returns to the area that he has been directed to leave from within 12 hours then he will be arrested.

“The male was part of a small group who were congregated in the Gloucester Mews area causing anti-social behaviour.

“Others in the group were also moved on and have been given words of advice at this time.”
