TWO young troublemakers were sent home to their parents by police in Chapelford just hours after a 48-hour dispersal order was issued for the area.
The order was put in place yesterday, Thursday, from 4pm and is due to finish at 4pm tomorrow, Saturday.
It was put in place after an increase in reports of anti-social behaviour and gives any constable in uniform the power to order an individual in a public place to leave and not to return for a certain period of time.
Last night, Thursday, officers were called to Sainsbury's car park where youths were cycling between moving vehicles.
Their dangerous behaviour was alarming shoppers and drivers.
Two youngsters were stopped by officers, who seized their bikes, handed them dispersal notices and took them home to their parents.
