"Three stark posters will be launched on Monday to show the effects of drug-dealing and drug-taking on people in the county.

The posters follow the success of Operation Abolish, which saw 24 dealers sentenced to nearly 100 years' imprisonment for heroin and crack cocaine trafficking offences.

Now police are vowing to keep up the pressure with their new campaign, a partnership with Crimestoppers, called Another Victim of Drug Crime.

The campaign aims to educate people about the spiralling effect of drug- dealing on crime levels in their community - and asks for their help in gathering intelligence via the anonymous Crime-stoppers telephone number."
