A SERIES DRUG ARRESTS ARE DELIVERED DURING LOCAL WEEK OF ACTION
Last week in the Fiveways Neighbourhood, it was the ‘Big Conversation’ and running alongside the Community Engagement Week there was also a Week of Action which focused on a number of priorites highlighted by the local community.
Today the Grimsby Telegraph has reported that five people were arrested after a series of drugs raids during the week.
Police swooped on properties in Eleanor Street and Comber Place in Grimsby and Grimsby Road, Cleethorpes, as part of a focus by officers in the Fiveways area.
Three men and two women were arrested during the raids, which took place between Monday, December 7 and Saturday, December 12 and included the Sidney Sussex, East Marsh and Heneage wards.
Officers were also focusing on road safety and offered advice to motorists and cyclists in the area.
John Willis, neighbourhood co-ordinator for Fiveways, said: “The aim of the scheme was to focus resources in a small area to tackle priorities that have been identified as community concerns.
“It is important these issues are brought to our attention.”
Two of the five people arrested in the raids have been charged with possessing of a controlled substance, one has received a caution and the remaining two are currently on bail pending further enquiries.
It is important to remember that each of the three Neighbourhood Forums have highlighted these issues as Community Priorities.
In the case of East Marsh Involve, the community members will be very pleased that Humberside have taken action against the properties in Eleanor Street and Comber Place, also the property outside the ward which could have been affecting the residents of the East Marsh.
