Dozens of arrests were made during last week's police crackdown on street violence.

Operation Resolve 3 targeted suspects in West Downs police division, which includes Worthing.

Police had employed a variety of tactics to make streets safer including a blitz of town centres on busier nights.

During the operation, West Downs officers totted up 790 extra hours of high visibility patrols in Worthing and made 14 arrests for violent offences and another 35 arrests for drug possession and similar crimes.

About 90 bottles of alcohol were confiscated as police enforced the town's public drinking ban.
