Large-Scale County Lines Warrant Seals Major Seizure of Drugs and Weapons

Large-Scale County Lines Warrant Seals Major Seizure of Drugs and Weapons

01 June 2026

A high-stakes police raid on our border has successfully dismantled a regional County Lines drug hub, taking a collection of dangerous weapons off the streets

Detectives have published dramatic evidence photographs following an aggressive tactical warrant operation designed to disrupt illegal supply chains creeping into our rural communities. Specialised units executed a synchronised raid on properties on the edge of our patch, seizing a massive haul of Class-A narcotics alongside an array of prohibited firearms and knives. One man was taken into custody on the scene, with the Rural Task Force confirming that hitting organised county lines networks remains a top priority to protect vulnerable young people in isolated Dales villages.
