The alleged offences included two domestic violence assaults, four drug-driving offences, failure to appear at court, burglary, breach of an anti-social behaviour injunction and two fraud offences.

Three people were released on conditional bail, six remained under investigation and two were charged.

Alongside responding to incidents, officers held meetings with parish councillors in Audlem and Wybunbury, visited schools and the town's Army Cadets, and met Nantwich Food Festival organisers for a debrief.

They also held a Cops on the Square session.

Nantwich Police said: "Alongside investigating crime and responding to incidents, local officers have been out and about across their communities, strengthening relationships, listening to local concerns and working with our partners."

The team added it had been nominated in two categories at Cheshire Constabulary's annual ACE Awards, describing it as "perhaps our proudest moment of the year".
