Barnsleys police commander has praised the efforts of staff who took part
in Operation Duxford yesterday, resulting in the seizure of cash and drugs.
Hundreds of people were also spoken to, as officers and partner agencies
engaged with members of the local community, listening to the issues they
are currently facing so that they can be acted on and subsequently dealt
with.
District Commander for the town, Chief Superintendent Scott Green, said: I
hope that seeing and speaking to officers yesterday has reassured people
living in Barnsley that we are committed to tackling the issues that matter
most to you.
If you tell us theres something happening in the area you live thats of
concern, we will listen and act upon it.
Hundreds of staff and officers, alongside colleagues from Barnsley Council,
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and the Department of Work and
Pensions, carried out enforcement activity, including eight search warrants,
as well as extensive engagement opportunities as we spoke to residents and
businesses about crime prevention and safety advice.
During the pre-planned warrants almost £3,000 worth of cash was seized and
a quantity of controlled drugs recovered, which resulted in the arrest of a
29-year-old man for possession with intent to supply. A further two arrests
were also made throughout the day.
Other significant results included tickets for fly tipping being issued,
seven speeding tickets, two dogs seized under the Dangerous Dogs Act and 24
vehicles stopped and searched.
As you can see, yesterdays intelligence led activity was varied and Im
proud of what we were able to achieve and Id like to thank staff and
partner agencies for their efforts.
Id also like to thank every single person who stopped to speak to
officers, who said hello and who wanted to find out more about Operation
Duxford and the overall work were doing across the district.
While Operation Duxford enables us to carry out a high-visibility day of
action with the assistance of partners, its important to note that this
work, tackling the issues most prevalent in our community, is ongoing every
single day.
Our priority is making Barnsley a safe and enjoyable place to live, work
and visit and so as always, Id ask anyone with concerns to speak to their
local Neighbourhood Policing Team, or get in touch with us via 101.
