“The legislation is just one of the tactics we use to disrupt and dismantle drugs supply networks. “Mobile phones are vital to dealers and some lines will often make thousands of pounds a day. “Without them, their drug dealing activity is seriously disrupted and their potential to earn money at the expense of vulnerable people is curtailed.” As well as closing down phone lines, the force are also sending text messages to potential drug users to offer them help and support. The message encourages anyone who wants help to overcome their substance misuse to contact Open Road, a charity which supports people with drug and alcohol addiction.
