We have a big programme that we fund from government that targets those people who are the real power behind the county lines network.
Every theft, regardless of the value of the goods, will be treated as the serious crime it is.
Respect Orders will ban perpetrators from the places they blight, force them to confront the causes of their behaviour and make breaching one a criminal offence with serious consequences, including prison.
People across the country are fed up with off-road bikes tearing through parks, dangerous e-scooters on pavements and the chaos of illegal car meets.
