Hide AdA spokesman for Blackpool Police said: “We conducted an operation around South Shore during the Christmas period which seemed to have addressed the issue.
“Officers conducted an analysis of calls over a 30-day period and we only received three phone calls around the issue across the whole of South Shore.
“We are in the process of analysing information to see if there is an issue across other areas.”
