John Dwyer, Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire said: "Protecting vulnerable and at-risk people is a priority in my Police and Crime Plan and I'm delighted to see the Constabulary take concrete action on the scourge of county lines.

"Criminals involved in these gangs cruelly exploit the most vulnerable in society. They should be under no illusion that Cheshire is a hostile environment for them, and that we will do everything we can to get them and their drugs off our streets.

"People in Cheshire can be assured that we will continue to take positive action to bring down organised crime gangs and protect our communities."

Cheshire Police added regarding drug crimes: "You can find all the signs you should be looking out for here."
