The NSW Police Transport Command (PTC) yesterday conducted a high-visibility operation targeting anti-social behaviour on the public transport network.
Operation Blueline, conducted yesterday, was designed to minimise crime and anti-social behaviour, and increase passenger safety on the public transport network between Cronulla and Wolli Creek.
Throughout the operation, officers attached to the Police Transport Command were deployed in and around major transport interchanges throughout the day and night, NSW Police say.
They were assisted by officers from St George, Sutherland and Miranda Local Area Commands as well as officers from a number of specialist commands.
More than 58 trains were patrolled, 13 people were searched, 19 move-on directions issued, and 54 transport infringements issued.
Police also made four arrests for offences such as goods in custody, possession of a prohibited drug and transport offences.
Chief Inspector Craig James from the Police Transport Command said police will continue to focus on reducing crime on NSW public transport.
"People should feel safe and secure while using public transport in the Sutherland Shire and George’s River district," Chief Inspector James said.
"The Police Transport Command will continue to focus its attention on anti-social behaviour especially throughout the warmer months of the year."
