“We’ve been working extremely hard over the last few months to take robust action and this has resulted in six warrants being carried out in the area, with four arrests being made on suspicion of a range of offences.
“We have also been proactively targeting locations where suspected drug dealing is taking place, this includes stop searches and vehicle checks.
“It’s really important people talk to us about their concerns about drug supply; if you report it, we can do more about it. For example, if you have suspicions about cannabis being grown in a property near you, it’s important you contact us.
