What can you do?
If you know the people involved, or they seem approachable, our first advice would be to talk to them peacefully. After all, they may not be aware they’re causing a problem. If they are trespassing on your property you have the right to ask them to leave.
However, do not take the law into your own hands by intervening, such as making physical threats or attempting to confiscate items. You may make the situation worse and even risk committing an offence yourself.
If talking hasn’t worked, or you would prefer not to talk to those involved, there are a couple of ways to get help and support.
- Report to Lincolnshire Police by calling 101
- Report anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111
