"There is a lot of vulnerability associated with the drugs trade, and it’s no secret that young people are often exploited and coerced into dealing drugs. If you know of a young person who has started behaving differently lately, going missing or becoming more withdrawn, associating with the wrong people, or has started wearing expensive clothes or jewellery then it’s possible they are being groomed and exploited."

Anyone who wishes to report drug related activity is advised to call 101, or submit a report online via the police website. People can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously online or by calling 0800 555 111.
