Police in Bangor continue to keep up the pressure on those supplying controlled drugs in the area following two further arrests on Friday 2nd February at Roman Camp.
Inspector Doug Hughes at Bangor Police Station said “During the early afternoon of Friday 2nd February and as part of our intelligence led policing officers from the Priority Crime Team arrested two young men from Liverpool in an area known locally as ‘Roman Camp’ in the Upper Garth Road area of Bangor.
“Both were arrested for possession of Class A controlled drugs and possession with intent to supply same. The 16 year old was additionally arrested for being in possession of an offensive weapon. Cash, mobile phones and substances believed to be Class A drugs were also seized. Following interview both were ‘released under investigation.
“Our commitment to rid our communities of those who possess and supply controlled drugs is our priority and in line with ‘Operation Scorpion’ is directly targeting serious and organised crime. Friday’s arrests under Operation Rattle is a continuation of that process and we are determined to keep our communities safe. For those involved in drugs supply there is #No Hiding Place. It is vitally important we listen to concerns and where necessary take proportionate action. You say – We do.”
“Possession and distribution of controlled drugs will not be tolerated and we will continue to take positive, robust action. However we can’t tackle this problem alone and key to all our work, and that of our partners, is intelligence and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of the community sharing their concerns with us.
