People were arrested for a variety of offences including possession of drugs, shoplifting and recall to prison.
There were also seven arrests for non-payment of outstanding fines worth a combined total of £9,550.
Nearly 500 fines were issued for non-payment of tickets and 27 people were surrendered to the courts for outstanding fines worth £31,000.
During the operation 11 people registered as missing were also located by officers.
