- A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failing to comply with a dispersal order. He was bailed whilst investigations continue.
- A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly. He remains in police custody.
- A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a police constable but was released with a caution and a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence but subsequently released with no further action.
Cumbria police said: “Further to the arrests, officers have carried out 98 stop and searches and given 34 dispersal notices to individuals, compelling them to leave the area.
“These figures were for the policing operations on both Wednesday evening and Saturday combined.”
Chief Superintendent Carl Patrick said: “We have been robust over the past week in responding to the disorder seen elsewhere in the country in order to prevent a repeat of those scenes here.
“Whilst I thank the public for their patience and understanding, I make no apologies for this approach. Public safety is always our number one priority.
“This weekend we have made a number of arrests. However, it is clear that there has been a positive community spirit here in Cumbria which has contributed significantly to us not seeing the disorder witnessed elsewhere.
“We will continue to be robust as we move forward. However, we will work with partners to maintain public safety and allow people to go about their daily lives.”
