Three people were arrested and a number of warrants were carried out in Blacon as part of 'Operation Decisive'.

The day of action, tackling drug-related offences, traffic offences and anti-social behaviour in Chester, took place on Wednesday 16 September.

Over the course of the day, warrants were carried out at addresses in Penmon Close, Sylvan Mews, Masefield Drive, Station View, Highfield Close, and Hatton Road in relation to suspected drugs offences.

Closure orders were also granted for addresses in Sylvan Mews, Masefield Drive, Rose Terrace, Western Avenue, Celebration Drive, and Canberra Way.

"This sends a stark warning to those who choose to commit crime that criminal behaviour will not be tolerated. You will not go unnoticed and action will be taken against you.

"We hope this also sends a message to local residents that we are committed to tackling drug-related and anti-social behaviour in the area.

"We do listen to your concerns, and we would urge anyone with any information to please report it to us by calling 101, reporting it through our website, or contacting Crimestoppers anonymously and we will do the rest."

The day was supported by officers from Chester Beat Team, Chester Proactive Team, Western Problem Solving Team, Force Intelligence Bureau, firearms officers, Roads Crime Unit, Dogs Unit, Bike Unit, and Force Control Centre, plus British Transport Police (BTP) County Lines Team and BTP ViAWG Team.
