Police use horses on Bath estate
Mounted police are to be used during a crackdown on anti-social behavior on an estate in Bath.

The move comes after residents raised concerns over gangs of youths on the Foxhill estate, and an increase in crime on nearby Bradford Road.

Other patrols will also be increased during the half-term holidays.

Sergeant Peter Hickinbotham said: "The anti-social behaviour of these young people is not going to be accepted or tolerated by the police."

Police add a "number of individuals" have already been arrested during the crackdown.
