A quantity of drugs were seized by police during a search in Glastonbury at the end of 2023.

This operation on December 29, 2023, was part of a 'proactive search' by police in Glastonbury.

Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any indications of drug use, dealing, or cultivation in their neighbourhoods.

Spotting The Signs

Some of the telltale signs that drug dealing activity may be going on in your neighbourhood include the steady flow of visitors to a nearby residence. Other things like watching out for brief encounters at the likes of your local park, bus stop or even on the street can also arouse suspicion. If you do suspect a neighbour of being involved with some form of drug dealing or trafficking whether as a seller or buyer, you should inform the police.

What You Should Be Observing

To help police with their investigations, you should keep a record of your observations. These should include the nature of your observations and the times and location of where they took place. Also try to provide the police with a description of the person or people involved, and their vehicles, preferably with number plate information too, if possible.
