POLICE say that the problem of boy racers using Sainsbury's car park in Water Lane, Farnham, appears to have been solved following action taken earlier in the year. A Hale teenager who had his car seized for anti- social driving in the car park was found guilty last month of driving without due care in connection with the incident. And in the meantime, according to Neighbourhood Specialist Officer for the area Pc Ian Heaphy, he has not received any further complaints from residents after the matter was tackled by police. He said: "I am continuing to monitor the situation and am in contact with the management at Sainsbury's who assure me that it is no longer a problem. "Groups of youths do occasionally meet by the car wash but there have not been any more problems with anti-social driving around the car park." Increased patrols in the car park following numerous complaints from residents led to a car being seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act and a man being reported for driving without due care on April 21. Ryan Cox, 19, from Hale, was found guilty of the offence when he appeared in court on November 19 and received three penalty points. He was also fined £200 and ordered to pay £300 costs, as well as a £15 witness surcharge. Pc Heaphy explained: "I received numerous complaints over the period of a year from local residents about boy racers meeting in the car park and the nearby trading estate and using it for wheel spinning and skidding. "We worked closely with the management team at Sainsbury's to try and put a stop to the problem and the level of complaints did fall significantly after a number of youths were banned from meeting in the vicinity of the store." Pc Heaphy added: "Cox has had warnings in the past about driving in an anti-social manner and was issued with a yellow card for anti-social use of a motor vehicle last year. "Once someone has been warned, we are entitled to seize the vehicle – and we have not hesitated in this instance to do so in order to drive home the message that anti-social behaviour on the roads will not be tolerated."
