County Lines

Resident

County Lines is a term used to describe the activity of Organised Criminal Gangs (OCGs) who export illegal drugs from cities, across county borders and into smaller towns and rural areas.
 

You can help by looking out for the signs:

Changes in someone's behaviour or wellbeing.

Making unusual purchases or transactions.

Socialising with unfamiliar people.

Having access to money they can't account for.

Buying expensive goods they shouldn't be able to afford.

Having multiple phones, tablets or SIM cards
 

The best advice is to trust your instincts. Even if someone isn't involved in County Lines drug dealing, they may be exploited in some other way, so it's always worth speaking out.
 

Tonight local Rugby SNT Officers have conducted a leaflet drop in the Bilton, Cawston, Admirals, Rokeby & Overslade areas of Rugby to provide awareness on the dangers of being involved in County Lines and the signs to look out for.
 

If you have any suspicions call Police on 999 or 101.
