Sussex Police seize Class A drugs and cash and arrest multiple people during eight simultaneous warrants in Hastings

The enforcement action comes as the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) launch two new operations in the town, aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) and drug-related crime.

Covering the Brendon Rise and Broomgrove Estate area, Operation Baird specifically looks to deal with the theft and illegal use of motorcycles, drug use and supply, exploitation of young people into organised crime groups, and cuckooing.

Meanwhile in the town centre, Operation Castle focusses on addressing shoplifting and business burglary.
