A number of agencies and support services were involved in the activity and tackled issues including parking and housing problems, truancy and litter.

Sergeant Richard Vernon, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "Throughout the dedicated operation we used feedback and concerns members of our communities had raised to tailor the plans and activity which took place.

"This enabled us to work collaboratively with partners to implement plans that were specifically aimed at tackling criminal activity.

"The results achieved demonstrate the effectiveness of this and I hope the action taken illustrates our commitment to addressing and resolving community concerns.

"Community safety is our main priority and we work continuously with our local authority partners, through operations such as this, to address local issues and provide reassurance."
