Big Bust in Bognor Regis: 21 Arrested in Major Drug Crackdown
Sussex Police have launched a massive week-long blitz on organised crime in Bognor Regis, nabbing 21 suspects linked to drug dealing and county lines. The operation targeted ruthless gangs flooding the town’s streets with Class A drugs.
County Lines Networks Smashed
Officers ripped through notorious county lines gangs known as MZY, Dropz, and Shadow. Raids uncovered a haul of heroin, crack cocaine, cash, phones, and other drug-dealing equipment. These groups are accused of exploiting vulnerable people to run their deadly supply chains.
