Merseyside Police prepare to disrupt potential anti social behaviour over Halloween
Merseyside Police is putting a series of measures in place to disrupt any potential anti-social behaviour over Halloween.
Officers are putting a string of Dispersal Zones in place in various parts of the force area.
The zones give police the power to remove and ban people who are engaging in antisocial behaviour, or likely to take part, from returning for 48 hours.
Police can also seize items that they believe may be used to create the disturbance.
Is your home in a Dispersal Zone - here's a list of the areas affected.
