Hide AdA spokesperson said: "Despite personal sacrifices and hardships, Wyre residents have overwhelmingly complied with the regulations throughout this pandemic. From the police, we are very, very grateful.
"By doing so, you are helping us too, by enabling us to deal proactively with the small minority of people that break the rules.
"To do this, you will see us proactively patrolling, including at beauty spots. We will be challenging groups of young people and adults and conducting traffic stops to ensure that people have not travelled great distances to exercise.
"If we stop and speak to you, please don’t be offended. We are out to try and keep Wyre safe for everyone."
