The Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team has seized approximately £12,000 worth of suspected class A drugs over the late May Bank Holiday weekend as part of an ongoing initiative to disrupt local criminality.
The Bridlington Neighbourhood Policing Team is continuing to make waves with its proactive efforts to tackle and disrupt criminality across the local community.
Recent activity by the force has seen officers execute numerous drugs warrants, carry out targeted patrols, and act directly on vital information provided by members of the public.
In a significant recent operation over the late May Bank Holiday weekend, officers seized quantities of suspected class A drugs. The recovered substances are believed to have an estimated street value of approximately £12,000. This successful seizure was made during a warrant that was supported by the Kinetic Intervention Team.
According to the force, this work forms a crucial part of their commitment to the Clear, Hold, Build initiative currently operating in Bridlington. The ongoing scheme focuses heavily on disrupting criminal activity in the area. It also involves the police working closely alongside local partners and communities to create safer environments for the long term.
Neighbourhood Policing Officer Andy Sawyer, who led the recent targeted activity, discussed the broader strategy of the local policing team.
"Whilst we are highlighting this action, this is just one example of the work being carried out year-round as part of our zero-tolerance approach to criminality within our seaside town."
Officer Sawyer also expressed his gratitude to local residents who have come forward to assist the police with their ongoing investigations.
"I’d like to thank everyone who continues to report concerns with us. Information from the community plays a vital role in helping us build the bigger picture around offending and target our activity where it will have the greatest impact."
The force is urging residents to remain vigilant and to keep communicating with local officers to help maintain the momentum against illegal activity and anti-social behaviour.
"We would encourage anyone with concerns about crime or anti-social behaviour in their area to continue reporting them to us. Please speak to our officers when you see them out and about, visit our website, or call our non-emergency number 101."
Officer Sawyer added that there are alternative methods for the public to share what they know if they prefer not to speak directly to the police.
"Alternatively, information can be reported anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
