Campaign on drug dealers launched to stop harm on Monklands' most vulnerable

Crimestoppers has launched a campaign to highlight the harm drug dealers can inflict on vulnerable people in Monklands.

Speaking about the initiative, Angela Parker, the organisation’s national manager for Scotland, said: “Everyone has the right to feel safe and live free from the harm of drugs and our campaign aims to highlight the misery dealers inflict on the vulnerable.

“Last year our charity passed on 9500 pieces of anonymous information about drug trafficking and supply to Police Scotland; that’s 53 per cent of total calls.

“In addition, there were over 1000 pieces of information about manufacture and cultivation of drugs.

“Our charity is making a difference every day, but we need people to speak up and help prevent drug-related deaths and the harm caused by dealers to the vulnerable.

“You can contact us on 0800 555 111 or send an untraceable online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org .”
