Police have arrested two more people for dealing heroin and crack worth £2000.

The arrests were made in Weymouth as part of Dorset Police's ongoing operation to combat county lines drug dealing.

Since August the neighbourhood team has stopped £92k worth of drugs from being sold in the community.

The Echo recently reported how 30 arrests were made in the county last week when Dorset Police joined forces across the country in a 'national week of action' to crack down on county lines drug gangs operating in the area.

'County lines' is a term used to describe urban gangs supplying drugs to other parts of the UK using dedicated mobile phone lines.

Urban dealers will use runners to distribute the drugs meaning they never pass through their hands and are difficult to track down.

Between October 8 and 14 Dorset Police and partner agencies conducted a week of action to crack down on county lines networks operating within Dorset.

Four golf ball-sized amounts of suspected crack cocaine and heroin, with a street value of around £15,000, was seized in Weymouth and more than £23,000 worth of drugs and cash were seized elsewhere in the county.

The week of action led to 30 arrests - five were charged, 21 were released under investigation, two were transferred to other forces, one was released without conviction and one was remanded in custody regarding a warrant.

Anyone who suspects drug supply in their area is encouraged to report it to police on 101 or by contacting independent crime-fighting charity Crime Stoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or via their anonymous online report form at www.crimestoppers.org
