POLICE were called to a shopping centre in a Weymouth suburb after reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB).

Officers were called to Home Bargains at Littlemoor Shopping Centre on Monday around 8pm after reports of ASB within area.

It comes after shop workers in the centre said trouble in the area is 'getting out of hand', as police say they will step up patrols.

A spokesman from Dorset Police said: "We were called at 8.05pm on Monday (January 3) to a report of anti-social behaviour relating to a male teenager refusing to leave Home Bargains at Littlemoor Shopping Centre.

"Officers attended and the individual had left the area. Officers liaised with staff at the store."
