Current priorities
Drug dealing ongoing in the Victoria Road area of Runcorn
We have routinely been in the area and have been taking positive action in relation to this. We have conducted stop and account checks as well as stop searches in the area. This has resulted in an arrest on suspicion of Possession with intent to supply cannabis. This investigation is ongoing.
