Police urge public to help tackle drug crime
PC Ashlyn Goddall said: “We know people are worried about drug dealing and the violence, exploitation, and anti-social behaviour that comes with it. Our officers are working hard to target dealers, but we need our communities to come forward with any information.”
“No matter how small, your tip-offs help build a bigger picture for us to act on.”
Anyone with information about drug activity is urged to contact police on 101 or report online via the 1 Police website.
