#COUNTYLINES CRACKDOWN 🔨
Last week, we joined the national week of action with forces and organisations across the country to tackle County Lines drug dealing.
County lines drug dealing is where organised crime groups use phone lines to move and supply drugs, usually from cities into smaller towns and rural areas. This type of offending often exploits children and vulnerable people who may have addiction or mental health issues.
Results:
🚨 Arrested: 102 people.
⚖️ Charged: 54 people.
🙏 Safeguarded: 37 people.
🚪 Visited: 78 addresses that have been taken over by a county line.
❌Seized: over 400 wraps of cocaine, heroin and crack cocaine.
đźš« Seized: weapons seized including a baseball bat, machetes and an array of hunting, flick, Rambo and kitchen knives meaning numerous weapons have been taken off of our streets.
đź’· Seized: approximately ÂŁ66,000 in cash.
📱 Seized: approximately 160 mobile phones.
đź“š We also worked alongside partners including local authorities, schools and charities to educate people on the dangers of drug exploitation and County Lines.
ℹ️ Gathering valuable intelligence.
We focus on combating county lines every day, but this intensification week highlights our commitment to fighting these offences.
This also serves as a message to offenders: we will not tolerate those who attempt to exploit our communities, and bring drugs into them. We know who you are, we will arrest you, stop your supply and seize your drugs and cash.
