Alongside day-to-day policing, officers recently led a successful operation for the Nantwich Jazz, Blues and Music Festival, spanning five days.

Nantwich Police said: "Months of planning, strong partnership working, and close engagement with organisers and venues all contributed to a safe and welcoming atmosphere across the five-day festival.

"Officers from across the force carried out almost 80 separate duties, working both visibly and behind the scenes to keep visitors and residents safe.

"Over the course of the event, there were seven arrests and as part of the festival's zero-tolerance approach to drugs, organisers funded the use of drug detection dogs.

"This proactive approach resulted in 60 indications and 10 separate drug seizures, the majority involving cocaine, helping us to keep the festival environment safe for the vast majority who came to enjoy the music."
