In a week-long crackdown on county lines drug dealing, Norfolk police made several arrests and seized large quantities of Class A drugs. County lines drug dealing refers to the use of mobile phones to coordinate the supply of drugs between a major city and a different county. The operation took place between October 9 and 15.
One arrest took place in Norwich, where a teenage boy from Suffolk was found in possession of Class A drugs during a stop and search. The arrest occurred on October 9 in Shorncliffe Avenue in Mile Cross. Another arrest occurred in Brazengate on October 12, where a man was stopped in a vehicle and two drug wraps, two knives, and cash were seized.
In addition to these arrests, two men in their 50s were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply following a vehicle stop in Yarmouth Road, Brundall. They were found with 21 wraps of Class A drugs. One of the men was released without charge, while the other was bailed.
Multiple arrests were made on October 11. Rory Rae, 23, was arrested in White Hart Street in Thetford, and a number of wraps of heroin were seized. Rae, of St Edmunds Court in Thetford, was charged with possession of heroin with intent to supply. On the same day, three individuals were arrested after a warrant was executed at a property on Duke Road in Gorleston. Fifty wraps of Class A drugs were found, leading to their arrests. The individuals, a man in his 40s, a woman in her 50s, and a teenage boy, have been released under investigation.
Detective Inspector Jo Minnis, Norfolk police’s county lines lead, emphasized the importance of the operation in tackling county lines drug supply and its associated violence and vulnerability. The police had gathered intelligence ahead of the week-long crackdown and carried out a range of activities, including executing warrants, conducting stop and searches, and completing safeguarding checks. However, the commitment to tackling drug dealing in Norfolk remains ongoing throughout the year, and the police encourage the public to report any suspicions of drug dealing.
