Three people were arrested and two vehicles were seized in Kendal as police continue their crackdown on anti-social road users.
On Wednesday, the South Lakes Neighbourhood Policing Team and Cumbria’s Operational Support Unit carried out an operation targeting road safety in and around the Kendal area.
The 15-week Operation Colossus targets road safety related issues and anti-social driving in different hotspot areas across the county every week.
Three drivers were arrested during Wednesday’s operation for drug driving offences.
A total of 90 vehicles were stopped during day for a range of offences including speeding, no insurance, illegal number plates and not wearing seatbelts.
Officers carried out four searches, issued 24 traffic offence reports and seized two vehicles.
Sergeant Dawn Boyd, of South Lakes Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Our surveys have highlighted road safety as a top concern for our communities.
“The operation carried out on Wednesday is part of our ongoing efforts to address dangerous and anti-social driving in the area.
“I encourage residents to continue reporting issues to us. Community information is essential for building local intelligence and tackling these problems effectively.”
Operation Colossus was launched after concerns were raised by communities of anti-social driving across Cumbria.
