"Our plea to communities is to please keep reporting any information you have on drugs supply to police. You may not see a police deployment immediately, but we are working behind the scenes to build the bigger picture with every detail you provide.

"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 If you know of a young person who has started behaving differently lately, going missing or becoming more withdrawn, associating with the wrong people, or has started wearing expensive clothes or jewellery then it’s possible they are being groomed and exploited." People are encouraged to report drug incident anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111, or online.
