More than £300,000 worth of drugs were seized and 68 people arrested in one week during a crackdown on county lines dealing in our region.
Guns, knives, knuckledusters, cars and phones were also confiscated by West Mercia Police officers during Operation Target. The force says it has closed four drug lines into the area.
Detective Chief Inspector Ian Wall said: “We are obviously pleased that we have arrested 68 people involved in county lines drug dealing and that we have closed four lines and seized drugs to the value of £319,000. But we have also placed a real focus on safeguarding those impacted by county lines drug dealing.
"We will continue to prioritise the pursuit and prosecution of those who bring drugs into our counties, commit violence, and exploit vulnerable members of our communities.” “The achievements made during the County Lines Intensification week shine a spotlight on the dedicated serving officers across West Mercia.
