Today, Tuesday 9th July 2019, the Hartlepool Neighbourhood Police Team with the assistance of the Cleveland Police Special Constabulary conducted two Misuse of Drugs Act warrants in the Burn Valley Ward. This sustained action follows the multiagency day of action held on 4th June 2019 whereby concerns such as drug dealing, antisocial behaviour and criminal damage were raised by the community. Officers carried out a warrant in Rugby Street where a number of potentially offensive weapons, as pictured, were seized as well as a quantity of powder which will be subject to testing to determine its classification. A further warrant was executed in Charterhouse Street which concluded with a negative result. The work carried out by the police today is in direct response to complaints and concerns raised by the local community and in conjunction with ongoing work by the Hartlepool Community Safety Team aims to improve the lives of the law abiding majority. Acting Inspector Adrian Dack said We continue to target those who want to be involved in the distribution of controlled drugs and engage in antisocial behaviour which impacts on the community. Police officers from the Community Safety Team have been well supported by the Special Constabulary in recent weeks when executing these warrants. Your PCSOs are putting a lot of work in to make this happen and I ask that the community continues to support them. We will where necessary pursue premise closure orders on addresses that continue to attract antisocial behaviour. To report drug dealing in your community call police on 101, or 999 in an emergency. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
