Neighbourhood Policing Teams were on the Derwenthorpe estate last night.
It was in response to concerns about anti-social behaviour.
Several youths were told to leave the area and one was arrested.
It follows an incident where nesting swans were disturbed. A shopping trolley was thrown at the birds, as YorkMix reported here.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Officers and PCSOs will continue out high-visibility, proactive patrols at key times to deter offending, provide reassurance to residents, and engage directly with the local community. These patrols will focus on addressing ASB concerns and identifying individuals involved in ongoing issues.
“As part of this proactive approach, officers will also be taking action against illegal e-scooters and e-bike use, including stopping riders and seizing when being used unlawfully. This is aimed at improving safety for pedestrians and reducing nuisance behaviour.
“We encourage residents to continue reporting incidents of ASB or illegal activity, as community information is vital in helping us target patrols effectively. Anyone with concerns can report them via 101, online, or in an emergency by calling 999.”
