🚨 3 in 3 – Disrupting Drug Dealing in Our Community 🚨

📣 Wantage & Grove NHPT 📣
 

Can you remember our post a couple of days ago about arresting a male for possession with intent to supply in Wantage on 10/04?
Following that arrest, the male was charged and remanded in custody.

Well, the very next day (11/04), we intercepted another male mid drug deal on Naldertown. As a result, a 22-year-old male from outside the area was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. Drugs and cash were located on him, and his vehicle was seized.

However, it seems county lines didn’t get the message…

On 12/04, yet another male was sent into Wantage. We intercepted him, but he made off on foot. 
Clearly, he didn’t read my previous post about me not liking running… because he definitely made me run! 🏃
Despite our best efforts—and assistance from the police helicopter—we were unable to locate him. However, we did seize his vehicle, along with cash and significant items inside.

Our recent survey told us loud and clear that our community wants us to focus on drug-related activity—and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
💥 3 significant disruptions in 3 days
👮 A team of just 2 PCs and 2 PCSOs

A big thank you to our colleagues in Abingdon for their support with prisoners.

We’ll keep going. 👊
