Antisocial behaviour is classified as acts which cause alarm or distress to others.

This can include noise, rowdy behaviour, intimidation, harassment, verbal abuse, street drinking, dropping rubbish, animal problems, and driving in an inconsiderate way - such as drivers gathering in an area for racing.

Cleveland Police says its officers take all reports of antisocial behaviour seriously and take action to address problems.

A Cleveland Police spokesperson said: “Antisocial behaviour is something which we take very seriously. It can blight communities and make people’s lives a misery.
