Residents complain that problem is occurring as late as 4am

Town councillors in the town have already urged Dyfed-Powys Police to use powers to seize cars, following reports of late-night problems.

Police now plan mobile CCTV to tackle the problem, with a warning that vehicles could be confiscated.

But some local youngsters say the problem is exaggerated.

Police say the main problem was at night on the McDonald's and Richley's car parks in the town.

Inspector Keith Davies, from Dyfed-Powys Police, said that the problem had been dealt with last autumn, when two cars were seized under the Police Reform Act.

Police plan to use CCTV cameras as part of the crackdown

"Over the last two months, things have started to pick up again," he said.

"We're going to start tackling this again using plain cars with CCTV cameras and officers on foot with cars.

"We will be seizing cars again."

Cllr Paul James said residents on the Maes Mawr estate were complaining of problems late at night.

"Residents feel they need to have a more visible police presence in this area in the evening to deter these dangerous kids from fooling around in their cars and disturbing the peace and jeopardizing the safety of others."

But one youngster involved in driving cars told BBC Wales that they were not causing any "harm or chaos".

"The police are claiming we're dangerous to residents but I totally disagree," he said.

"One or two stand out from the crowd, but that's their responsibility, and the police should take action against those individuals.

"The majority of us aren't doing anything wrong."
