Five men have been arrested and banned from entering Cumbria after reports about rural crime in the county.
Cumbria police’s rural crime team said it had taken robust action following the reports about suspicious activity.
On July 29, two men were arrested near Meathop, in South Cumbria, on suspicion of going equipped and their vehicle seized for use in crime.
On August 2, three men were arrested near Pooley Bridge in Eden on suspicion of theft of a quad bike and their vehicle seized for use in crime.
A stolen quad bike was recovered nearby.
All five were not from Cumbria, police said, and were released on bail, excluding them from entering Cumbria.
