Police officers are continuing their patrols in Workington in efforts to tackle antisocial behaviour. 

They have been mainly targeting the town centre where businesses have been spoken to. 

A spokesperson said: "PCs 3302 and 3303 have conducted high visibility patrols around Workington's ASB hotspots, primarily the town centre, and have spoken with several businesses in the area about the issues.

"We have made them aware of our work promoting business safety during Business Crime Week, including the revamp of Shopwatch known as Scheme Link, launching this week.

"Scheme Link is funded by Allerdale Community Safety Partnership and is a central point for local businesses, police and partners to share data and communicate with the aim of reducing crime and anti-social behaviour."
