Liverpool drug gangs target Scots towns and cities as police carry out cross-border raids
10.11.2022 - 13:19 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A series of raids has revealed that Scots towns and cities are still being targeted by drug gangs from Liverpool. Officers from Merseyside Police teamed up with Police Scotland last week to carry out searches of properties in Peterhead and Aberdeen.
An address in Knowsley was also raided during the County Lines investigation, where shady operators recruit vulnerable young people or local addicts to sell their drugs. Officers discovered quantities of cocaine and heroin during a search in Peterhead with a man and woman arrested in connection on November 2.
A simultaneous raid in Hollow Croft saw an additional man arrested in connection with the drug recovery north of the border, the Liverpool Echo reports. Joshua Donnelly, 28, has now been charged with the supply of drugs and has been remanded in custody ahead of a trial date.
The following day, raids took place at an address in Gardner Road, Aberdeen, where crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin, cash and drug dealing paraphernalia were seized, with a combined estimated street value of £50,000.
Two men, aged 44 and 21, were arrested at the scene. Detective Constable Karen Maxwell, of Police Scotland's North East Division CID, said: "I would like to thank our colleagues at Merseyside Police for assisting with this operation.
“Our partnership approach shows our commitment to disrupting those involved in operating and profiting from the sale of illegal and harmful substances. We will continue to tackle the exploitation of vulnerable members of our communities in the North East of Scotland.
“If anyone has any concerns regarding the abuse of controlled drugs, or anyone who may be involved in the supply of controlled drugs, please contact Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously
