Incidents include youth-related nuisance, street drinking, verbal abuse, and noise complaints and phone snatches. These behaviours are negatively impacting community well being and increasing the fear of crime

Victims are often distracted, and thefts typically involve mobile phones, wallets. These are now particularly focused around Cody Docks area.
