Drugs Use and Dealing – Ongoing Priority

We continue to review and develop intelligence around drugs misuse and supply within Driffield and surrounding areas. We have actively targeted vehicles and carry out a number of stop searches on individuals that have produced positive results.

We continue to work with licenced premises carrying out visits and incorporating the use of pub watch and banning notices to target individuals linked to drug misuse. Use of a passive drugs dog has yielded some positive results and been welcomed by the local community.

For operational and data protection reasons we are unable to give specific details of locations / premises or persons that we are currently investigating. We have been working with other agencies to tackle individuals of concern linked to drug misuse.

We ask that you continue to report concerns around drug misuse / dealing at the time.

You can report anonymously via ‘CrimeStoppers’ at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/

Nuisance bicycle riding and non-use of lights – North Frodingham

Driffield NPT have been made aware of youths riding pedal cycles in an anti-social manner on the Main Street through the village. The youths are pulling wheelies and causing issues for local people. A cycle safety event has been arranged for 26/04/25 and this will be advertised on our social media channels in due course.
We are asking that members of the public continue to report such incidents via the 101 service at the time they are ongoing so the issue can be accurately reviewed and responded to. We will be increasing patrols in the area.
