Hide AdInspector Andy Loftus, who heads neighbourhood policing for north-west Leeds, said:
“We are committed to tackling the crime and anti-social behaviour that the organised supply of drugs creates in our communities and will continue to target those we suspect of being involved in such criminal activity.
“Information from the community is a vital part of that work and we would encourage anyone who has suspicions about people involved in drug dealing where they live to contact us directly or pass on any information to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously so we can take appropriate action.”
