A MAN has been ordered to leave an area after reports were made about an intoxicated male 'causing issues'.

Police said they received calls that an intoxicated male was causing issues in Easton Gardens on Portland today and issued a man with a dispersal order temporarily banning him from the area.

Breaching the order by returning to the area would mean that the man would be liable to arrest.

A spokesman for Weymouth & Portland Police said: "One male has just been issued with a dispersal order following calls regarding an intoxicated male causing issues in Easton Gardens, Portland. If the male returns or causes further issues then he will be liable to arrest."
