One man was arrested on suspicion of burglary
Police officers worked with other forces bordering Cumbria in Operation Checkpoint, which returned on Saturday, November 16. This is the "largest rural crime operation of its kind" in the UK which "sees several police forces in the North of England working collaboratively to prevent and tackle rural acquisitive crime, wildlife and poaching offences."
Eight people were also subject to the police's stop and search powers. Three people were arrested on suspicion of driving whilst under the influence of drugs and all three were released pending further enquiries. Sergeant Amanda McKirdy, Cumbria Constabulary’s Rural Crime Team, said: “We work closely with our bordering forces with this initiative which sees us work together to tackle rural crime. We are committed to targeting travelling rural criminals and are keen to encourage people to report suspicious activity.
“We will continue to take part in such operations to ensure that offenders are identified and brought to justice.”
