The usual cooperation and compliance of the public is highly solicited, police said.

The latest arrests have however shown a consistent drop in the number of people being arrested. On day one of the campaign, police arrested 117 people. That dropped to a little over 90 the next day and then a little over 60 people the next day, and the 25 people.
