Police - teams on patrol in Chalkwell Park. Inset: Some of the exclusion zones TEENAGERS from gangs which police believe could possibly be linked to two murder investigations, have been banned from entering parts of Southend, Rayleigh and Leigh. The fifteen yobs - five boys from the Leigh Lot and ten boys from O Block - are part of gangs which have been linked to drug dealing, violence and anti-social behaviour. Police are also investigating possible links between the gangs, based in Southend and Rayleigh, and a violent incident in which a man died and another suffered life-changing injuries after a disturbance in Southend in August last year.
Zone B While these gangs generally aim their violent behaviour at each other, members of the public have also been victims of crime and impacted by their anti-social behaviour. Essex Police has arrested and prosecuted a number of individuals, some of whom are currently going through the courts or are being investigated. The individuals are banned from: 1) Associating with each other, and other named people within the order who are part of the Leigh Lot, O Block and Gutless Gang, in a public place, or place to which the public have access, save for any court appearances together, appointments with outside agencies at the same time, or whilst attending any school/college (but even then must not associate together off the premises) or when detained in custody or with prior authorisation of the police (which will be provided in writing)
TWO drug dealers working for a county lines drug gang have been jailed for putting the poison of crack cocaine and heroin onto Essex streets. Olakunle Ekundayo and Sean Allen had been working for the ‘Mitch’ drug line out of Hackney, co-ordinating ‘drug runners’ to sell crack cocaine and heroin in Thurrock. They and their roles in the operation were identified after officers stopped a car in Grays in March 2018. After pulling over the vehicle they found drugs and seized a mobile phone from the driver, who was also arrested. After studying the seized phone, Essex Police s Op Raptor team, comprised of specialist officers tackling drugs gangs, were able to identify Ekundayo and Allen and establish their involvement in the county lines gang.
