Guns and knives seized as 38 arrested in operation to smash drugs gangs

Twenty addresses identified as being linked to cuckooing - where criminals take over homes lived in by vulnerable people to stash or sell heroin and crack cocaine were raided. At least 23 people were identified as being vulnerable and at risk of criminal exploitation by county line drug gangs. Officers worked with local authorities and charities to provide specialist support and advice to safeguard them.

Both primary and secondary schools received visits from officers to educate pupils and teachers on how organised crime gangs recruit youngsters to deal drugs on their behalf and the signs they should look out for. “It’s important the public know that this good work can only continue if communities not only learn to understand the signs of activity linked to serious and organised crime but to come forward to report that information – no matter how small.

Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, John Dwyer said: “This week of action demonstrates the commitment to making Cheshire a hostile environment for criminals and is an example of the fantastic work done by Cheshire Constabulary to disrupt and dismantle serious organised crime groups. My thanks go to every officer involved for their dedication and hard work.
