Police have made nine arrests over two days of targeted activity in Bognor Regis and the surrounding area this month.
Arun Police says officers have been carrying out dedicated operations across Bognor Regis town centre and surrounding areas as part of efforts to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
The arrests were made for a range of alleged offences, including shoplifting, robbery, assault, breaching a criminal behaviour order, theft from a motor vehicle and possession with intent to supply drugs.
Officers also carried out four stop searches and seized two vehicles and an illegal e-bike.
Police say quantities of controlled drugs, including cocaine, were also recovered during the operations.
The activity generated nine intelligence logs, while officers recorded 169 community engagements and 30 visits or contacts with local businesses.
Arun Police says the results demonstrate the continued work of local policing teams to disrupt criminal activity and remove potentially dangerous items from the streets.
Officers say they will continue proactive patrols and enforcement work aimed at tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in Bognor Regis.
Anyone with information about crime in the area can report it online or by calling 101. In an emergency, call 999.
