Proactive clamp-down yields results in Saxmundham
Suffolk Constabulary led a multi-agency ‘day of action’ in Saxmundham this month to crack down on illegal activity, reaping ‘positive results to keep residents safe.’
The day was ‘intelligence-led proactivity’ and resulted in 4 arrests and the seizure of over 600 grams of suspected Class B drugs, and eight weapons.
Inspector Liz Casey said: “This was a really positive day of action for all the agencies involved, with some serious offences detected and a significant amount of drugs and weapons taken off of our streets. All of these offences contribute to harm within the local community, and they must be taken seriously. I’d like to pass on my thanks to all the other agencies involved – a great bit of partnership working as part of our ongoing effort to keep residents safe.”
Nicole Rickard, Head of Communities and Leisure from East Suffolk Council, said: “Multiple members of our teams attended the day, including representatives from our Communities, Environmental Protection, Private Sector Housing, Licencing, Building control, Fraud and Food Safety departments. Following a number of visits to businesses, evidence and information was taken away by teams to inform further investigations and potential enforcement action.”
