Cardiff’s Queen Street is a popular place to shop during the day and go out at night. But the street has recently been named as the worst street in Cardiff for rising anti- social behaviour. The data which has been released by South Wales Police has been compiled over a year till December 31, 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-social behaviour covers a wide range of offences including Covid breaches, criminal damage, intentional harassment, alarm and distress. The data classified anti-social behaviour under three categories: environmental, nuisance and personal. South Wales Police say many of the anti-social behaviour environmental occurrences were Covid-related offences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martyn Evans is a fruit seller on Queen Street. He says drug and alcohol abuse are a big problem, but the police are handling the situation effectively. ” I just see a lot of homeless people fighting when they’re drunk and maybe some drug use. Kids have also got gangs and I witness petty crimes that can escalate. So, yes, I see incidents not all the time but sometimes.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
