POLICE took part in a spring clean of the Accrington Road area of Blackburn.
Officers teamed up with Blackburn with Darwen Council, Twin Valley Homes, Lancashire Fire and Rescue, Groundworks and the Probation Service for a “Beatsweep” day around the area.
Police executed warrants for suspected criminals, as well as working with the council and other agencies to clean graffiti and litter, and tackle anti-social behaviour.
They also handed out advice on crime prevention and fire safety.
A spokesman for the police said: "Beatsweep is about improving the quality of life for local people by tackling the problems which matter most to our communities and we hope this will be effective.”
