Organised crime gangs have faced significant setbacks during a nationwide initiative targeting drug trafficking in Warwickshire.

The national County Lines Intensification Week aimed to tackle the exploitation of vulnerable people by drug gangs from large urban areas.

These gangs traffic drugs into smaller towns, including those in Warwickshire, for financial gain.

The crackdown forms part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the operations of organised crime gangs in the region.

The police urge people to be aware of the signs of exploitation and to report any concerns.
