Hampshire police confirmed officers attended an incident in Gosport’s high street on May 13 at 1am following reports of disorder and aggressive behaviour in the town centre.

Hampshire Police Federation John Apter said there were fewer officers to respond to such incidents, adding that ‘in places like Gosport where the response police teams have been moved away, it leaves officers vulnerable and it’s completely unacceptable’.
