We have arrested more than 20 people and disrupted several criminal networks in Chadsmoor as part of an 18-day strike against organised crime and community priorities.
We’ve achieved positive results alongside @cannockchasedc which are going to be built upon by officers and local authority colleagues to continue addressing the concerns of local people and businesses.
Here’s what we’ve done:
• Arrested 25 people in the Cannock area on suspicion of a range of offences linked to organised crime. Six of these people have been charged with offences and are due to appear in court
• Seized more than £6,000-worth of drugs and £1,800 in cash across a series of warrants
• Stopped 57 drivers and carried out five alcohol breath tests, resulting in one driver being arrested on suspicion of drink driving and two e-scooters being seized
• Carried out 29 stop and searches, leading to the arrest of a man after a knife was found
• Multi-agency visits to vulnerable people, resulting in the implementation of safeguarding measures and ongoing support for families affected by criminality
• Trading Standards visits to businesses resulting in 2,100 illegal cigarettes being seized, 150-grammes of illegal hand rolling tobacco seized and 29 suspected counterfeit Labubu dolls
• Closed a cannabis factory and made arrests in connection with drug cultivation
• Immigration visits to addresses and businesses in the area to generate ongoing intelligence.
The initiative forms part of our Safer Communities, Stronger Future commitment, where police officers and local authority partners continue to deal with the issues that you care about the most in Cannock.
