Four people were arrested in Reading over an attempted burglary of a shop in Craddock Road and there was also a fire in London Road on Tuesday night.
In Slough, police made an arrest for criminal damage after dealing with a small group of people causing minor disorder in the town.
Police officers also supported the fire service at a blaze in the town.
Thames Valley Police has set up Twitter feeds to keep communities in the Reading and Slough areas updated.
Deputy Chief Constable Francis Habgood said: "We were prepared in advance to deal with any potential disturbances and officers responded quickly and effectively. Arrests were made and the groups involved were dispersed at an early stage.
"We would like to thank the community for working with us and providing information about potential incidents. We ask that communities continue to keep us informed of any further groups gathering or acting suspiciously so we can respond quickly."
He added: "I would also like to pay tribute to our Special Constabulary. More than 200 Specials made themselves available for duty yesterday and more than 100 of those were deployed across the force area."
On Monday night, youths wearing masks and balaclavas caused damage to cars in Reading in "copycat incidents" following riots in London, police said.
