Drug Dealers are Hawking Counterfeits Too

" Police are urging people to provide more information about drug dealers in their community.

The call follows a successful recent raid on a house in Boyer Street, in which suspected crack cocaine and heroin were seized along with cash, counterfeit DVDs and jewellery.

Officers from Stockbrook Safer Neighbourhood Team and colleagues from Pear Tree targeted the property on April 28.

A man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and was bailed pending further inquiries.

Sergeant Matt Williamson, of the Stockbrook Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: "This demonstrates that, if we receive intelligence from the local community, we will take positive action wherever possible.

"We would urge anyone who has suspicions about drug-related activity in their neighbourhood to contact the police or Crimestoppers about it.

"We know drugs can have a detrimental affect on local areas and want to do what we can.""
