“The warrants required the use of 21 officers to ensure all addresses could be searched simultaneously. Neighbours came out to thank us for the action - dealing is a serious issue and the constant flow of people, loud noise causes real quality of life issues. We followed up the warrant with lots of door knocking and high visibility patrol - we'll be back to Broomhall soon.”
