Officers were in Montague Avenue on Wednesday afternoon speaking to shop staff and members of the public just days after Southampton Itchen MP, Darren Paffey, held a coffee morning for more than 40 residents at Central Baptist Church.
It comes after residents said “more needs to be done” to tackle the issue.
A dispersal order was issued for Southampton city centre last week after a member of staff at Marlands Shopping Centre was reportedly assaulted.
