Balaclavas could be banned in Newport city centre following concerns about “intimidating gangs”. The social media hashtag "no face no case" has been gaining traction glorifying balaclavas as a way to avoid prosecution. Police across the UK have said face coverings are hampering their efforts to identify potential offenders. Officials in Newport are exploring ways to strengthen existing powers to challenge those wearing balaclavas as BBC reporter Jordan Davies reports. #BBCNews #Balaclava #nofacenocase #Newport #Wales
