Local Priorities Drug dealing Message

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Drug dealing, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

On the morning of Wednesday 3rd September, Tadcaster Neighbourhood Policing Team, supported by colleagues from the Selby district executed a warrant at an address on Kelcbar Close.

The warrant resulted from an ongoing investigation into criminal and drug related activity.

As you will know, North Yorkshire Police are committed to making our communities a safer place to live, work and visit.

We know that information held by our communities is vital and having the trust we will listen to them and take action is important.

If you see or hear something that doesn’t seem right or causes you concern, we want you to tell us about it.

You can speak to us via 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The illicit drugs market is big business, worth an estimated £9.4 billion a year and drug deaths have reached an all-time. Taking the health harms, costs of crime and wider impacts on society together, it is estimated the total costs of drugs to society are over £19 billion, which is more than twice the value of the market itself.

If you are adversely affected by antisocial behaviour in your community associated with drug use, The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 outlines the flexible tools and powers that the police, local authorities and other local agencies can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour.

If you have concerns about the use of a neighbouring property for drug use you can report this anonymously via Crimestoppers. Call CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111. Your anonymity is guaranteed.

Alternatively you can report this using our online reporting tools at https://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
