Drug dealing.

Issued 16 April 2026

PC Andrews has carried out proactive patrols across the ward, both in uniform and in plain clothes, to help prevent and detect crime. These patrols allow officers to gather information, identify people suspected of being involved in criminal activity and respond quickly to local concerns. As part of this ongoing work, PC Andrews is identifying individuals linked to reported offences and taking action using the appropriate police powers and legislation. Officers have also executed a number of search warrants during this period, with positive results. A search warrant is a legal document authorised by a court that allows police to search a property for evidence linked to suspected criminal activity. This work will continue as part of efforts to disrupt offending, gather evidence and keep the community safe.
