Multiple arrests have been made in Falmouth and action taken against irresponsible drivers as neighbourhood policing Op Loki continues in Cornwall.

Operation Loki was launched by Devon & Cornwall Police on 20 March and the operation reached Cornwall on 17 April starting in Truro, with Falmouth Police launching the operation from 24 April for four weeks.

Tim Evans, Sector Inspector of Falmouth Police said; "As of the 4 May, since the start of Op Loki in Falmouth, we have arrested six people; three people for assaults, one person for assault, theft, and failure to appear in court, one person for failing to appear in court, and one for theft."

"Two further offences of assault are currently under investigation following the identification of those involved."

"We have dealt with various incidents of antisocial behaviour to address their negative impact on the community and are working with other agencies to deal with long term issues linked to this."

"Whilst on patrol in the town centre on Wednesday night, officers and special constables were accompanied by Police Dog Skye who helped identify a number of people who were stopped and searched. Drugs were also seized."

"More than 150 vehicles have been stopped by our policing team. As a result of these stops, we have arrested 2 people for driving whilst over the prescribed limit, 3 people have given speeding advice, one vehicle has been seized for failure to pay vehicle excise licence, and two offences of tyres being below the legal limit have been dealt with."

"We have also liaised with partner agencies regarding two people who were struggling with their mental health to give them the support they required."

"Our Neighbourhood policing team have engaged with more than 600 people in Falmouth during #OpLoki including at our pop up gazebo on the Moor, and we've received some good feedback about our visibility in the town. We will continue to keep our community updated as we work to keep Falmouth a safe place to live and visit."

Officers will be available for anyone to speak to them, on patrol or at the pop-up police station on the Moor in Falmouth over the coming weeks. Check the local policing social media pages for details; Twitter @falmouthpolice, www.facebook.com/FalmouthPolice
