Priority:
Disruption to drug supply and associated addresses
Action taken:
Pewsey continues to prioritise the disruption of drug supply networks and the identification of addresses linked to drug-related activity. This includes targeting individuals involved in the distribution of controlled substances, safeguarding vulnerable residents, and working with partners to address properties being used for criminal exploitation, such as “cuckooing.” Through proactive policing, intelligence-led operations, and community engagement, the aim is to reduce harm, prevent exploitation, and improve safety and confidence within the local community.
