POLICE have targeted Ryedale in the latest in a series of no-crime days.

The days are being run across North Yorkshire and involve police officers, the British Transport Police, Ministry of Defence Police and council officers.

In Ryedale, 107 people were involved in Tuesday's operation, which ran from 7am until midnight.

Four people wanted for committing crimes outside the area were arrested, one man was arrested for an alleged assault in Wharram le Street, near Malton, four people from Hull were arrested in Malton and a number of items that had been stolen from local shops were recovered.

A local juvenile was detained on suspicion of theft and a man was arrested for alleged possession of drugs in Pickering.

One man, who was wanted by police, handed himself in to Malton Police Station after being unnerved by the sight of the extra officers.

Sergeant Cliff Eden, of Malton police, said: "By using high-visibility patrols, Rye-dale has said 'no' to crime, deterred crime and caught criminals. In essence, we have had a small amount of crime committed and the offenders were arrested on each occasion."
