Boyle said anti-social behaviour was “something that’s visible in our communities” and the force was determined to reduce and tackle the problem.
He said the ages of those involved ranged from about 12 right up to adults who are “maybe in the night-time economy, maybe intoxicated”.
Boyle said that while 750 arrests might not seem a lot when compared to the force’s total of about 7,000 in December, they had been made in specific small areas that had been identified as having high amounts of incidents and crime.
“We are targeting those issues and we are making big reductions in crime and incidents,” he said.
Boyle said 100 arrests had also been made in relation to serious violent crime and about 140 for retail crime.
“Our ultimate aim is to make our town and city centres safer,” he added.
Boyle said the winter crime crackdown involved working with local businesses.
Despite them reporting an increased footfall during the festive season, retail crime fell by 10% compared with December 2024.
The Winter of Action campaign, which runs until the end of January, is a Home Office initiative that all police forces are taking part in.
