OPERATION Action was a success, Guernsey Police said yesterday.

Head of operations, chief inspector Nigel Taylor, led the initiative, which included checking scooters, carrying out speed checks and dealing with alcohol-related anti-social behaviour.

About 90% of the officers on duty were seconded to assist with the operation.

Chief Inspector Taylor was pleased with how the day went.

‘It has been very successful,’ he said.

‘We have been interacting with lots of different sections of the community and have hopefully educated people who have committed minor offences.’
