Class A drug use and dealing in and around Wickham Lane and Bostall Woods.

Heightened patrols took place at targeted times, resulting in a number of initial arrests for drug dealing. In addition, partners have been engaged for any drug rehabilitation services that can be offered within the area more specifically. Officers will continue to find innovative ways to tackle this problem over the following month to ensure no reoccurrence, but we ask the public to report any signs of potential drug dealing, no matter how small it may seem. If any community members would also like to be part of a walk-along patrol to discuss this issue, please use the contact forms on this site.
