On Thursday 7th February 2019 officers from the Hartlepool Neighbourhood Police Team executed a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Warrant in the Brenda Road area of town. Officers acted on information received from residents of the Foggy Furze Ward and intelligence gathered by officers in the area. A quantity of items were seized from the address including various substances believed to be controlled drugs along with scales, mobile phones and a large quantity of cash. A large kitchen knife was also seized from the area the suspected drugs were located. A 43 year old male was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, possession with intent to supply class C drugs and money laundering. A 34 year old woman and a 40 year woman are scheduled to attend Hartlepool Police Station next week on a voluntary basis to help police with their enquiries. Sgt Adrian Dack of the Hartlepool Community Safety Team said Numerous pieces of information received from several concerned members of the public living in the area, along with the hard work from the team have allowed us to obtain a search warrant for the address. A quantity of drugs and a large amount of cash were recovered after we forced entry resulting in the arrest of one male from the location. A further two females will be assisting us with our enquiries at a later date. The message is clear our communities are prepared to stand up to this sort of criminal activity and we will endeavour to do something about it as long as you continue to provide us with the information. Dont be disheartened if we dont act the following day or even the following week as we need time to build up the evidence. We are listening. The Hartlepool Community Safety Team will be liaising with the landlord regarding the tenants of the property and if they do not want to assist them they will pursue a premises closure order on the address with the assistance of colleagues at Hartlepool Borough Council. Should an order be granted the property can be closed down for a minimum of 3 months. To report drug dealing in your area call 101 or in an emergency dial 999. Alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously.
