Drug dealing around the Gibbonsdown estate

We continue to conduct regular patrols in the area as a deterrent and providing reassurance to local residents. In February we had a positive result dealing with 2 persons being stopped and resulting in an arrest for drug related offences. There was also a report of youths smoking cannabis in the communal area of a property. These were dealt with appropriately. This remains as a priority for officers.
