Lancaster and Morecambe Police said they have made 16 arrests over the past six months in connection to aggressive street drinking.
They also said 31 Community Protection Warnings (CPW) and 18 Community Protection Notices (CPN) had been issued in attempts to curb aggressive street drinking during the six-month time period.
Police also said that since a clampdown began in August 2022 - as part of daily patrols in Lancaster city and Morecambe town centres - alcohol-related anti-social behaviour incidents had fallen by 33 per cent.
“Aggressive street drinking is an issue that is reported to us on a weekly basis through our Lancashire Talking survey, and officers are often approached by members of the public and business owners regarding these concerns whilst out patrolling," said PC Katie Foster of Morecambe Neighbourhood Police.
“Aside from the street drinking itself, this often leads to other criminal behaviour such as violence, shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. For members of the community or those who are visiting Lancaster or Morecambe, these behaviours naturally cause worry and can be quite intimidating.
“However, we do appreciate that, for some individuals, this behaviour comes due to underlying vulnerabilities and therefore where possible, we will always refer people to seek the support they might need.
“Through Op Centurion, our force response to anti-social behaviour, we are acting on concerns of the public to create a safer environment across Lancaster and Morecambe."
Op Centurion is a county-wide crackdown on anti-social behaviour, led by Lancashire Constabulary and backed by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.
Lancashire Police said "the neighbourhood policing team have been working alongside partners to not only address the criminality but also seek the appropriate support for vulnerable individuals - working closely with licensing officers to engage with off-licenses and share awareness regarding selling alcohol to those already inebriated".
You can report anti-social behaviour to the police by calling 101 or reporting online. Always dial 999 in an emergency.
