Concerns were raised by the community about drug dealing within the area of Furzedown. In response to this officers will perform a number of targeted patrols over the next three months, specifically but not exclusively around Furzedown Rec and Mitcham Lane where more detailed issues have been highlighted.
Issue Date Friday 29th December 2023
Heightened patrols took place at targeted times, resulting in a number of initial arrests for drug dealing. In addition, partners have been engaged for any drug rehabilitation services that can be offered within the area more specifically. Officers will continue to find innovative ways to tackle this problem over the following month to ensure no reoccurrence, but we ask the public to report any signs of potential drug dealing, no matter how small it may seem. If any community members would also like to be part of a walk-along patrol to discuss this issue, please use the contact forms on this site.
