Extra police patrols around Grangetown following huge weapons haul recovery
Cleveland Police say they will have teams of officers running extra patrols in the Grangetown area - to reassure the public
High visibility police patrols will continue around the Grangetown area - to reassure the public - in the wake of a huge haul of guns and ammunition being found.
Cleveland Police recovered the cache of weapons after extensive searches around Mannion Park last week.
Local policing Superintendent Emily Harrison said: “Again we’d like to thank residents for their support and understanding while our searches took place. These enquiries formed part of ongoing and complex investigations, and we’re again urging local people to tell us what they know about serious and organised crime and who’s involved in it.
“Police and our partner agencies are working hard to tackle the issues but we can’t do this without the support of the people who live here, the people who see and hear what’s going on. I’d urge them to support us, work with us and help reinforce our message that serious and organised crime has no place in Grangetown and it simply won’t be tolerated.
“You’ll continue to see our highly visible patrols in the area for the foreseeable future – please feel free to speak to our officers if you see them out and about.
“We do understand some local people may be reluctant to speak to police in person but you can always phone 101 at any time, or submit information via the Cleveland Police website.
