More locals than visitors were arrested during TT races on the Isle of Man this year.
Police say the number of arrests made was similar to last year - but 78% of those arrested were Manx residents.
In general, officers say they are happy with the statistics - especially as there were more tourists than in 2009.
Supt Paul Cubbon said the TT races always have that "carnival atmosphere" and offences tended to be low-level and related to alcohol.
