Homes targeted as part of crackdown on organised drug crime
POLICE are continuing to crackdown on organised groups engaging in drug crime in East Lindsey.
Operation Grittar, an initiative set up by Lincolnshire Police, saw a number of homes in the area targeted by the police in November and December.
To date, several people have been arrested on suspicion of being involved with the supply of Class A drugs. Heroin, cannabis and mobile phones have been seized, as well as significant amounts of cash, which police have the power to confiscate under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
DCI Steve Taylor from Lincolnshire Police, said: "The towns along Lincolnshire's coastline are family resorts where people come to enjoy themselves in safety. This operation focuses on a minority of individuals who seek to blight our communities by trading in Class A drugs while also instigating unacceptable levels of violence. We will not tolerate those who commit such offences.

“"disrupt the activitys" police should be allowed to police, not have to have a million reasons to search property and use common sense, if tipped off they should be able to investigate without being sued. I'd say 9/10 Times a tip off would be ligitamate, for the other 1/10 if they end up breaking down the wrong door or arresting the wrong person what harms been caused? Pay for the damages , new door loss of work etc from the money seized from the criminals, cut the red tape have a serious purge of criminals and make them think twice, in the court give them proper sentences, dont give a rich criminal a fine, don't give the lazy 3 meals a day inside, make them work. Make the punishment fit the crime AND the punishment fit the criminal!”
