Police seized class B and C drugs, a large knife, and two mobile phones. These recoveries will contribute crucial evidence to several ongoing investigations into drug dealing and anti-social behaviour in the area.
This is the latest activity in the relentless neighbourhood pursuit to tackle the crimes which matter the most to residents: anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, vehicle crime and off-road bikes, and serious violence.
The warrants this morning came as a result of community intelligence and information gathered during officer’s proactive patrols, which sees officers dedicated to the area day and night.
The team have been based in Derker since March this year, and are already seeing positive results, and are making themselves seen and heard by the criminals; sending a message that this criminality will not be tolerated in the community.
Sergeant Joseph Dunne from Operation Vulcan said:
The ability for criminals to make vast profits from the drugs trade is a key driver for organised crime, and we have specialist officers working tirelessly to eliminate key players and resolve the issues the community are facing.
We will continue to employ every possible tactic to target and disrupt organised crime in Derker and ensure those who have been harming the community are brought to justice.
