Inspector Michelle Hughes said: "Priorities this week continue to be around reducing burglaries and ensuring we continue to support victims of domestic violence.

"This week our officers have been getting involved in number of different activities, on Thursday we carried out an operation on Yorkshire Street, following requests from local residents. As part of the operation two vehicles were seized, and a number of people were dealt with for various offences.
