A thousand Avon and Somerset police officers and staff have made over 200 arrests in a day of action targeting known drug dealers, burglars and other criminals.

The force says a hundred and eighty-eight people were arrested during raids yesterday, including 10 in North Somerset - after 46 as part of the pre-event build-up and intelligence gathering phase.

Seven drugs warrants were carried out in Weston, while over thirty thousand pounds worth of cannabis plants were seized in Burnham.
