Seven of the arrests were linked to domestic-related incidents. Alleged offences included assault, harassment, sexual offences and possession of an air weapon.

Five suspects were released on bail, four faced no further action and one person was charged.

Alongside responding to incidents, officers continued a series of community policing initiatives during Neighbourhood Policing Week.

Road safety patrols under Operation Deterred targeted the "fatal five" causes of serious collisions, while a joint licensing operation with Cheshire East Council focused on licensed premises and taxis in the town's night-time economy.

Police also continued their "The Kids Are Watching" campaign, using messages from local children to encourage drivers to slow down. \

A Cops on the Square event featured representatives from Nantwich Lifesaving as part of the Royal Life Saving Society's Drowning Prevention Week campaign.

Nantwich Police said: "Neighbourhood policing is about listening, engaging and working together to solve the issues that matter to you.

"Thank you to everyone who stopped to speak with us during the week and shared their views."
