Officers in Sheffield have been out this week executing warrants in and around the Parson Cross of Sheffield, in a bid to crack down on drug and illegal crime.


Throughout the week two warrants were executed and an estimated thirty thousand counterfeit cigarettes, cannabis, class A drugs and a large quantity of cash were seized.


The intelligence led pre-planned warrants were executed as part of the work done in Sheffield, to remove the threat and harm caused by illegal drugs and counterfeit cigarettes from the community.


An officer from Sheffield Tasking Team commented on the success of the warrants: “We are really pleased with the seizures achieved from the warrants executed and we will now continue this work, to remove further threats from the community in order to keep our residents safe.


“I would also like to stress the dangers of buying counterfeit goods, in particular tobacco products, as it unknown what chemicals and toxins are ingested in addition to the known health risks associated with smoking.”


Anyone with information in relation to drugs, drugs supply or any other offence can contact South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers free and anonymously on 0800 555 111.
