Drug misuse and anti-social behaviour (ASB).

Officers have been positively following up on local intelligence and in the last three weeks have discovered three locations where cannabis was being grown. These have been dismantled, the drug taken out of the supply chain and investigations to bring prosecutions continue.

Over the next three months, through the summer period, we will be increasing our presence around public open spaces and utilising powers of stop search where appropriate and working with partners to address those who misuse drugs in private settings. Officers will be focusing on local intelligence to target those who produce drugs such as cannabis.
