A man has been charged with assaulting two officers following a crackdown on antisocial behaviour in Hounslow Heath.

PCs Doug Moore and Chris Kendall, of Hounslow Heath Safer Neighbourhood Team swapped their day shifts for a week to combat late night crime.

Between April 25 and May 1 they arrested seven youths, including two for a serious assault in Hounslow town centre.

Two officers were assaulted as they attempted to arrest one of the youths, who was subsequently charged.

The team also moved on a number of troublemakers from the town centre dispersal zone and seized cannabis from one youth.
