Police operation reduces Crawley drug offences

A 12-week police operation in Crawley has had a significant impact in reducing serious harm linked to suspected class A drug supply.

Warrants and stop checks have led to 25 men and women being arrested, 11 county lines dismantled and 14 weapons confiscated in the 12 weeks to 6 December.

Specialist teams targeted the whole criminal network from the local drug dealer to the top tier of those managing the network supply.

Since the operation began it has reduced drug-linked offences in Crawley by more than half.
