Another dispersal order is in place as anti-social behaviour among youths continue to cause problems in Newtown.
The dispersal order is in place for the Newtown East area until 9pm on Wednesday (November 13).
The area includes the secondary school, McDonald's, Broad Street and Wesley Street.
Dyfed-Powys Police said: "These reports have been in relation to youths within targeting various locations and carrying out a wide array of acts which have caused considerable harassment, alarm and distress to members of the public within the locality."

The dispersal order gives police the powers to move anyone believed to be causing a nuisance, harassment or distress out of the area.
It is the third dispersal order during the past few weeks, with the previous order in place over a four-day period in mid-October.
Officers encourage people living in Newtown to continue to report antisocial behaviour, while also urging parents to be aware of where their children are and what they are doing.
