Last week, 46 people were arrested, cash, weapons and mobile phones were seized and suspected Class A and Class B drugs were recovered from across Lancashire, as part of a major national operation to crack down on County Lines offenders.
Lancashire Constabulary’s Force lead for County Lines, Becky Smith said: “We are working harder than ever to crack down on County Lines criminals who bring drug dealing and violence into our communities. County Lines is a term used to describe gangs and organised criminal networks involved in exporting illegal drugs, using dedicated mobile phone lines or other forms of ‘deal line’, often exploiting children and vulnerable people to move drugs and money.
“This week’s activity is a snapshot of the work carried out across Lancashire every single day to disrupt those involved in organised crime and tackle County Lines. Along with our partners in Children’s Social Services, Health and Education, we will continue this work, also driving awareness in schools and identifying those vulnerable to exploitation so that we can provide appropriate safeguarding.
“Our intention is to make Lancashire an uncomfortable place for these criminals to operate and we are committed to continuing to work alongside our partners and other forces to close down these lines, protect vulnerable people and remove those who exploit from our streets.”
