Community Cops Crack Down Hard
Sgt Lauren Sharland from Brentwood Neighbourhood Policing Team hit back at dealers:
“We got reports of suspected drug offences and moved fast to make arrests.
“Drug dealing wrecks communities. It preys on the vulnerable and fuels crimes from theft to violence.”
“We’re dead set on shutting down supply lines and locking up dealers. If you’re pushing drugs in Brentwood, expect a knock from us.”
Police Urge Locals to Snitch
Sgt Sharland added: “If you suspect drug dealing nearby, report it to us or Crimestoppers anonymously. The more info we get, the harder we can hit these criminals.”
