Community update: drug dealing/misuse

Community update: drug dealing/misuse

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

Members of the Northampton Neighbourhood Policing Team executed two warrants at properties in Kingsthorpe.
Both warrants were positive, resulting in the seizure of a large quantity of suspected drugs and a significant amount of cash. Arrests were also made, and the investigation remains ongoing.

This is a positive result for our local community and demonstrates the ongoing work being carried out by officers to tackle drug-related crime, disrupt criminal activity and help make our neighbourhoods safer.

👏 Well done to all the officers involved for their continued efforts to protect our communities.
