CUMBRIA Police have been carrying out more patrols relating to antisocial behaviour.
Officers have been monitoring hotspots in North and West Cumbria.
This is part of Operation Enhance which aims to tackle antisocial behaviour and violent crime.
In a post on social media, Cumbria Police wrote: "Our police officers carried more than 24 hours of extra antisocial behaviour and serious violence hotspot patrols in Copeland during August.
"The Copeland patrols were in Whitehaven and Cleator Moor – and will continue into 2025.
"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."
