Police - teams on patrol in Chalkwell Park. Inset: Some of the exclusion zones
TEENAGERS from gangs which police believe could possibly be linked to two murder investigations, have been banned from entering parts of Southend, Rayleigh and Leigh.
The fifteen yobs - five boys from the Leigh Lot and ten boys from O Block - are part of gangs which have been linked to drug dealing, violence and anti-social behaviour.
Police are also investigating possible links between the gangs, based in Southend and Rayleigh, and a violent incident in which a man died and another suffered life-changing injuries after a disturbance in Southend in August last year.
