County Lines Intensification Week is seeing some huge results! 👏
🚨 294 arrests made throughout the North West during County Lines Intensification Week (25th November – 1st December)🚨 County lines is when criminal gangs exploit children and vulnerable adults to transport illegal drugs from one area to another. The word ‘line’ refers to the burner phone line that the criminals use to communicate. We have seen our six forces cracking down on county lines which led to a significant amount of Class A and B drugs seized. The intensification week has seen: ✖️ 289 individuals engaged with and safeguarded – 92 were under the age of 18 ✖️ Approximately £900,000 cash seized ✖️ 77 weapons seized ✖️ 21kg Class A drugs seized (Crack, Heroin and Cocaine) ✖️ 8240 Class A wraps seized ✖️ 478 cannabis plants destroyed A huge success for all of our forces in getting more criminals who exploit children and vulnerable adults off the streets of the North West. NWROCU Regional County Lines Co-ordinator, Detective Inspector Adam Norton said: “Exploitation, coercion, and violence are central to the county lines trade. Gangs often trap young and vulnerable people in debt, forcing them to transport drugs across the country. “We work tirelessly with forces across the North West to combat county lines all year-round, strengthening our regional response to these drug-dealing gangs, and will continue to do so. “Last week we launched #EyesOpen – a regional campaign to educating our communities about the deceptive tactics used by criminal gangs and empowering parents, carers, and everyone else who encounters young people to recognise and combat these threats.

Children criminalised by drug trade, says ex-addict: Vulnerable children and young people are being groomed into the drug trade and criminalised, an ex-heroin addict jailed as a teenager has said. Vinnie Condron, 47, from Cardiff, said he started taking drugs aged 11 and ended up being the "slave" of a drugs gang. It comes as a Senedd committee finds criminals are targeting children in care, those with learning disabilities or neurodivergence and those excluded from school. The Welsh government said it would work with the UK government and other partners to prevent the exploitation of children. https://lnkd.in/eu-sRMnX
