The intelligence-led operation began early this morning and will continue late into the night.
Temporary Superintendent Simon Wanless said: "It's been better than we could have hoped."
He added: "Should we not be doing this all the time? Yes we should, and we will. For me it's an element of making this day to day activity and not a special occasion."
