Meeting overview

This month’s meeting focuses on drugs and County Lines in North Yorkshire

A typical county lines scenario is defined by the following components:

a. A group (not necessarily affiliated as a gang) establishes a network between an urban hub and county location, into which drugs (primarily heroin and crack cocaine) are supplied.
b. A branded mobile phone line is established in the market, to which orders are placed by introduced customers. The line will commonly (but not exclusively) be controlled by a third party, remote from the market.
c. The group exploits young or vulnerable persons, to achieve the storage and/or supply of drugs, movement of cash proceeds and to secure the use of dwellings (commonly referred to as cuckooing).
d. The group or individuals exploited by them regularly travel between the urban hub and the county market, to replenish stock and deliver cash.
e. The group is inclined to use intimidation, violence and weapons, including knives, corrosives and firearms.
