DEVON and Cornwall Police arrested 65 people on suspicion of domestic abuse offences during a dedicated day of action.
The operation on Tuesday, April 8, saw targeted arrests of those suspected of domestic abuse across the force area.
Cornwall saw 21 arrests, with 44 in Devon, including 16 in South Devon.
Domestic abuse is defined as an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour, including sexual violence, in the majority of cases by a partner or ex-partner, but also by a family member or carer.
Acting Superintendent Tom Cunningham, who led the day of action, said: "This was a successful day with the use of targeted intelligence to arrest those we suspect of being perpetrators of domestic abuse.
