Police Vow to Keep Pressure On Drug Gangs
Detective Constable Glenn Blanchard, Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: “This sentence sends out the message that significant sentences await those who prey on the vulnerable in Kent.”
“We will continue to clamp down on the county lines groups who sow misery in our communities by arresting anyone we suspect of involvement and seeking their prosecution.”
The fight against county lines in Dover and across Kent is ongoing, with law enforcement hunting dealers who exploit vulnerable individuals.
