Inspector Martin Brereton of Staffordshire Police said that on Thursday 6th October the police executed searches relating to drug dealing at addresses in the Stoke North Area. The Inspector goes onto say, I am now able to update that 16 people have been arrested as a result of this targeted police operation.
Thursday’s activities formed part of a pre-planned operation targeting specific addresses of those believed to be involved in drug-related crime and serious acquisitive crime, which includes burglary, robbery and vehicle crime.
Officers have taken action as a result of community concerns about suspicious activity taking place at the properties.
Warrents were executed at 20 locations as part of Staffordshire Police’s ongoing Operation Nemesis campaign and officers have also arrested people suspected of serious acquisitive crime.
All those arrested have been taken to the force’s Northern Area Custody Facility at Etruria (NACF) where they will be questioned.
Officers are carrying out detailed searches at each address and neighbourhood police officers are conducting high visibility patrols to reassure local residents.
