Sergeant James Truscott said:
“These convictions represent just a snapshot of recent positive action taken against those people who continue to commit crime within the city centre.
“Any crime or anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated, and positive action will continue to be taken in an effort to reduce crime and promptly bring the offenders to justice.
“We continue to work closely with businesses to encourage the reporting of crimes, whilst also improving prevention tactics aimed at deterring offending and remaining committed to making Swansea city centre a safer place to work and visit.”
