The Armagh Neighbourhood Policing team patrolled areas prone to anti-social behaviour on Saturday February 21. Officers left the station shortly after 7pm and covered multiple locations in Armagh city and nearby villages.

Patrols included Drumarg, Mullacreevie, Legar Hill, Alexander Avenue and Gardens, Lisanally, Lonsdale car park, and Railway Street. Constable Thompson noted that the team responds to concerns from residents raised at Policing and Community Safety Partnership meetings or spotted during duties.

Officers maintain a visible presence to deter anti-social behaviour and address issues on the spot. The patrols reassure residents through active monitoring of local areas.

After city routes, the team headed to Richhill village but diverted for an emergency call. They continued to Markethill via Seagahan and Carrickatuke, rural sites known for fly-tipping and related activities.

Markethill has recorded increased anti-social behaviour in recent months. The team encourages reports from the public to shape future patrols. Non-emergency incidents can be logged online or by calling 101.
