Police have put a dispersal order in place in parts of Lancaster after what they described as "a disturbance" in the area.
A Section 34 dispersal order gives officers powers to order a person who has committed, or is likely to commit, anti-social behaviour to leave a specified area and not return for a specified period of up to 48 hours.
Lancaster Police announced they had put an order in place covering parts of Ryelands and Scale Hall on Friday evening.
It covers the areas on the map below, which includes Ryelands Park and Ryelands Road, and is bordered by Torrisholme Road and Morecambe Road.
"We need to let you know that a Section 34 dispersal order has been put in place for Ryelands Road," said a Lancaster Area Police spokesperson.
"It covers the areas seen in the map, and will be in place until 9:22pm on Sunday 16th August, having been brought into effect at 9:22pm this evening.
"We have had to put the dispersal order in place tonight following a disturbance in the area earlier in the evening.
"This order has been put in place, and will remain in place to keep you, the public, safe and to prevent any further disorder.
"We have the ability to extend the order if there is a necessity to do so.
"It’s important that we tell you about this, and we thank you in advance for your co-operation."
A person posting on social media said she saw 14 police vehicles on Morecambe Road at around 9.30pm on Friday.
Beyond Radio has contacted Lancashire Police to ask for more details about the incident or incidents which led to the dispersal order being put in place.
