Thousands of people headed to the coast for the Bank Holiday weekend - and the message was clear: Criminals will not be tolerated .
Operation California was headed up by Police Neighbourhood Lead for the Lincs Coast area Insp Colin Haigh and saw the local police working alongside East Lindsey District Council, Royal Air Force dog handlers and British Transport Police to deter criminals bringing drugs to the coast.
On Friday, they searched 20 venues, some more than once, visited Skegness, Chapel St Leonards and Ingoldmells and interacted with hundreds of people.

Lincoln Cathedral’s Chapter House, a leisure centre, and an indoor bowls club are among the venues chosen by pro-active councils as COVID-secure meeting places.
From May 7, councils across England will no longer be able to hold virtual meetings as the government ends the measures it put in place to stop the spread of the virus in the pandemic – including allowing authorities to hold meetings via video-conferencing programmes such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Skype.
Councils had hoped to overturn the decision, however, the High Court ruled in the favour of the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government on Thursday that meetings must resume taking place “in person”.
