Operations to disrupt County Lines criminals are still ongoing
Nottinghamshire Police are working alongside Nottingham Express Transit to target criminals who are believed to be using the trams to transport drugs and weapons across the city. Uniformed and plain clothes officers from neighbourhood policing teams have been boarding trams and patrolling platforms to tackle the issue.
"Intelligence suggests Nottingham’s tram network is being used in a similar way for shorter journeys across the city. This operation saw us working closely with NET to disrupt this criminal activity. Trevor Stocker, NET Head of Operations, said: “The carrying of drugs and other prohibited items on trams is totally unacceptable, and we will continue to support the police in their efforts to prevent Nottingham’s public transport network from being used by criminal gangs. These targeted police operations, together with NET’s comprehensive CCTV system, should be a deterrent to those engaged in illegal activity and offer reassurance for our customers and employees.
