Not In Our Town - that's the hard message delivered to criminals in Gosport through a major operation between police, the Council and partners.
Over 100 arrests have been made by police for drug-dealing and anti-social behaviour, with properties shut down to make it safer and nicer for residents and town centre businesses.
So far the Not in Our Town drive has seen a 20.4% reduction in reports of the most serious crimes, and a 2.6% reduction in crime rates overall, police have reported.
