Operation AVRO at Work in Derker
This week saw officers from the dedicated Operation Vulcan team executed two warrants at addresses believed to be stash houses for local crime groups in Derker.
Police seized class B and C drugs, a large knife, and two mobile phones.
These recoveries will contribute crucial evidence to several ongoing investigations into drug dealing and anti-social behaviour in the area.
This is the latest activity in the relentless neighbourhood pursuit to tackle the crimes which matter the most to residents: anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, vehicle crime and off-road bikes, and serious violence.
The warrants came as a result of community intelligence and information gathered during officer’s proactive patrols, which sees officers dedicated to the area day and night.
The team have been based in Derker since March this year, and are already seeing positive results, and are making themselves seen and heard by the criminals; sending a message that this criminality will not be tolerated in the community.
Sergeant Joseph Dunne from Operation Vulcan said: “The ability for criminals to make vast profits from the drugs trade is a key driver for organised crime, and we have specialist officers working tirelessly to eliminate key players and resolve the issues the community are facing.
“We will continue to employ every possible tactic to target and disrupt organised crime in Derker and ensure those who have been harming the community are brought to justice.”
We urge anyone in the Derker area and who has any issues to please come forward and talk to us. We are determined to help you in any was possible.
Officers can be contacted via 101, by using our LiveChat function online, or anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
