Actions

20 June 2024

Drugs within the Lockleaze area is very much still a priority for the Lockleaze neighbourhood team.

It does take time to build a picture of what, when, where. To get this picture we need your help. If you have any information relating to drugs from the dealing, supply, cultivation or suspicious activity, doesn’t matter how insignificant you may think it is, it just may be the missing link.

In recent months the team have had some positive results we are happy to share.

A property being the hub of ASB and drug activity in the area has been granted a closure order by the courts. The property will now be closed for the coming months and this could not have been done without the support of the local community and supporting agencies.

An individual last month was arrested for drug driving. Officers are awaiting toxicology results.

A number of individuals have also been stopped and searched in the area when officers have been carrying out proactive operations. Some of those individuals had been found with drugs on their person and will be dealt with accordingly.

Officers have recently located a cannabis grow within a property in the Lockleaze area. The cannabis and equipment were seized and were estimated to have had a street value of around £10,000. One individual will be attending the local station for a voluntary interview.

In addition, at the beginning of January a young male was located by officers in a vulnerable persons address. The male was searched and was found to be in possession of a large amount of drugs and cash. The male was arrested, interviewed and has now been charged and remanded for the offence of Possession with intent to supply.

Furthermore, Neighbourhood officers on patrol stopped a vehicle driving in the Lockleaze area. The driver was found to be under the influence of drugs, they were arrested and released under investigation pending toxicology results.
