“Ladybrook is already a great place to live, but we’re determined to make it better by targeting the small minority causing trouble,” said PC Simon Ford.
“We saturated the area with more officers during this operation and will keep up this pressure moving forward.
“If it matters to residents, it matters to us. But we need the public to come forward and report crime so we can act effectively.”
“If you’re worried about drug crime or antisocial behaviour, speak up.”
