Community Hero Cops Strike Back
Sgt Lauren Sharland of Brentwood Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We got reports of suspected drug offences and moved fast to make arrests.
“Drug dealing causes huge damage in the community. It exploits the vulnerable and fuels crime from shoplifting to violent offences.
“We’re dedicated to shutting down drug supply lines and putting dealers behind bars. If you’re dealing in Brentwood, expect a visit from us.”
Police Urge Public to Snitch
Sgt Sharland added: “If you suspect drug dealing in your area, report it to us or contact Crimestoppers anonymously. The more info we get, the tougher we can hit these criminals.”
