Police have collected criminal evidence in several dawn raids

Norfolk Police say a hard-hitting campaign to target "prolific criminals" is working well, with 113 arrests over a two-week period.

Since Operation Harrier began on 28 April, police have taken part in early-morning raids across the county, arresting people for offences from drug possession to handling stolen goods and perverting the course of justice.

They said 56 people were arrested in the force's central area, 34 in the west of the county and 23 in the east.

Community Support Officers, the Special Constabulary, and regular police have also been on high-visibility patrols.

Chief Superintendent Tony Cherington, said: "A small group of prolific criminals carry out the vast majority of crime, and they are the people we want to target."

He said the purpose of the operation is to reduce the fear of crime among the public and put the fear of capture into criminals.

He said: "The message is simple - if you are a criminal and actively engaged in committing crime you can expect us to be knocking on your door sometime soon."

Norfolk Police have urged people with information about criminal offences to contact officers.
