Officers in Barnsley will today be working to disrupt the activities of
organised crime groups and engage with the community as part of a
dedicated operation.
Throughout the day and into the evening, officers will be working
closely alongside partner agencies to address issues raised by members
of the local community.
This work, undertaken as part of Operation Duxford, aims to identify and
protect vulnerable people, tackle antisocial behaviour and also disrupt
organised crime groups.
Chief Inspector Chris Foster, for Barnsley, leading the operation, said:
“Officers have already been out conducting intelligence led warrants
this morning and further activity is set to continue throughout the rest
of the day and well into the evening.
“One of our aims is to disrupt the activities of organised crime groups,
particularly in relation to the supply and distribution of drugs. This
work will form part of the ongoing week of action across the force
looking at the exploitation of vulnerable people, particularly children,
in what’s known as county lines.
“Today is also about putting additional resources towards addressing
issues raised by the local community, identifying any vulnerable people
and directing them towards the necessary help and support services.
“We’ll also have specific operations running, including working with
Trading Standards to look at issues relating to scrap metal and with the
council in relation to counterfeit cigarettes.
“With Halloween and Bonfire Night approaching, we will also be offering
crime prevention advice to residents and educating young people about
the consequences of antisocial behaviour.
“The work undertaken today, as part of Operation Duxford, forms part of
the wider work officers are carrying out every day and I’d encourage
people living and working in Barnsley to come and speak to us today.
“If you see us out and about please do come and speak to us about what
we’re doing and raise any concerns you may have.”

operation and to see where your nearest crime prevention stall will be.
