Over 200 arrested in county lines crackdown
Drugs with a purported street value of over £1m were seized
Det Supt Rick Sewart, lead officer for county lines in the Met, said county lines - a supply model which traffics drugs into rural areas and smaller towns, away from major cities - was "intrinsically linked to homicide and serious violence. "Eighty percent of county lines offenders charged with drug trafficking this year have previously been arrested for violence," he said.
"County lines networks prey upon children and young people, trafficking them and subjecting them to modern slavery involving horrendous emotional and physical abuse."
