THERE have been 12 arrests made in West Cumbria since Operation Enhance.
The operation aims at targetting antisocial behaviour and violence within Cumbrian communities.
Officers have been patrolling 'hotspots' across North and West Cumbria to tackle this type of activity.
The Operation has been running for three months, and Cumbria Police have made efforts to tackle crime.
In a post on social media, Cumbria Police wrote: "Operation Enhance sees extra police patrols in areas identified as hotspots for anti-social behaviour and/or serious violence across the county.
"Three months into the operation has so far resulted in 12 arrests, 32 stop and searches and 105 intel submissions from the public – in West Cumbria alone.
"The operation has been made possible thanks to £1 million of extra funding secured by Cumbria’s police, fire and crime commissioner from the Government’s Hotspot Response Fund to target anti-social behaviour (ASB) and serious violence in hotspot areas across the county.
"The operation sees extra patrols in 18 areas identified by statistical analysis as the county's hotspot areas of anti-social behaviour and serious violence."
