Lincolnshire Police and the East Midlands Special Operations Unit have this morning (Wednesday 22 October 2014) executed warrants at nine addresses in Grantham as part of investigation into the supply of class A drugs.
Seven men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs as a result of the enforcement action in the Earlesfield area of town. Five more arrests linked to the investigation were made yesterday in Nottinghamshire and the Greater Manchester area.
Grantham Chief Inspector Chris Davison said today: “Residents of Grantham may be aware that Lincolnshire Police and the East Midlands Special Operations Unit have recently undertaken a series of arrests of Grantham men in relation to the supply of controlled drugs.
“While most of our community will no doubt be happy that drug dealers are being taken off the streets, there are a number of people who will now struggle to easily find their supply of illegal drugs. Lincolnshire Police are committed to tackling the trade in illegal drugs, and will enforce on others who ply their trade in Lincolnshire.
“Those suffering from the effects of substance misuse addiction may want to take this opportunity to seek treatment to free themselves from the cycle of addiction. Help can be obtained from their GP, or via Addaction at 71 High Street, Grantham on 01476 512950.”
DART is another Grantham service for drug recovery. It’s the Drug and Alcohol Recovery Team based at Beaconfield, Neacon Lane.
It’s NHS service and most GPs will refer here as they are also NHS governed.
