As a result of this joint operation,

31 individuals were reported for the offence of street urination.

61 people were stopped and spoken to by officers, and a further 7 were searched

11 Flower Sellers were dealt with and 4 have been reported for this offence

1 person was dealt with for a cannabis related offence
