Local Crime Update

Dear residents

Following receipt of intelligence from a member of the public regarding suspected drug dealing and possible cuckooing at a property in Winton, officers from Bournemouth North Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted a welfare check on a tenant there.

During this check a significant quantity of controlled drugs was located and seized. £17K in cash was also discovered and a male was arrested on suspicious of drug offenses. 

This successful operation highlights the vital role of community intelligence in supporting proactive policing and ensuring we continue take drugs out of our communities. 

 We urge members of the public to continue reporting incidents to us – if we don’t know about it, we can’t tackle it. You can contact us via our website or by calling 101. If a crime is in progress or there is danger to life, always call 999
