There were also further arrests in the city centre, Cathays, Ely, Fairwater, Llanishen, Llanedeyrn and Roath.
A spokesperson said they were made for a variety of offences such as theft, assault, rape, possession of an offensive weapon, domestic violence, wanted on warrant, criminal damage, and harassment.
Six people were wanted on prison recall.
