Thirty-three offenders across the county were arrested by Cheshire police on the first day of Operation Hatay yesterday (December 17).
The operation, which runs up to Christmas Eve, started early yesterday morning with teams from around the force coming together to target offenders wanted by police and the courts.
Those arrested in the operation have either failed to appear at court, are circulated as wanted by officers investigating crimes or have been named as suspects.
Superintendent Pete Crowcroft said: "Force operations sent a dozen officers into Merseyside and beyond to knock early and loud on doors while staff from our Neighourhood teams concentrated on Cheshire based offenders.
"It was very impressive to see that no stone was left unturned and no word from other occupants at addresses taken on face value."
The 33 people arrested included those who were wanted for a range of offences including burglary, serious assault, shoplifting, domestic violence and arson.
If you know of someone who is wanted by the courts or by the police, contact police on 101.
