Neighbourhood Policing Team Sgt Charlotte Walker said: “We understand the impact drugs can have on a community and continue to investigate any information we receive. This wouldn’t be possible without the support of the residents we serve and the concerns they raise to us.

“We encourage people to report any suspected activity in their neighbourhood by calling us on 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Together we can make our communities safer.”
