Almost 100 people arrested the dismantling of the police organized

Around 100 people were arrested and more than 200 kilograms of drugs that were confiscated as part of a large police operation against organized crimes in Scotland.

The officials said that 11 children had been considered as “operating intensity” in the organized crime in Scotland as part of a “significant examination”, which were called “operating intensity”

The firearms were also taken from the streets in the raids that took place across the country, including Dumfries, Ayrshire and Central Scotland.

The surgical intensity that began in May 2023 took part in the organized department for crimes and fighting terrorism and aimed at a criminal network that spread large parts of the country.

The secret services indicated that the group was well equipped and that people in need of protection took advantage of Scotland's most disadvantaged communities to finance their crimes.

Couriers that drove by car were used to operate trading lines, which were then reused from safe houses.

Forty-six search commands were carried out as part of the campaign to disturb the gang, which led to large quantities of drugs, including cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, pills and herbal cannabis that were taken.

More than £ 600,000 in cash and firearms, including a pistol, an Air Force and a BB weapon, were also recovered with ammunition from the addresses.

In addition to this enforcement activity, 11 children were secured after the officials found that they were at risk from the gang as part of their criminal activities.

They were transferred to partner agencies or handed over to the care of family members.

The detective superintendent Stevie Elliot said: “This operation is a clear example of how we use our national resources alongside the knowledge of our local police teams to lower large gangs across the country.

“Our strategy was to maximize the security of the public and to protect people in need of protection, especially children and young people who are all too often forced and maintained by drug dealers.

“Organized criminal gangs show no shame or regrets for their actions, and all their activities focus on benefiting from exploitation.”

“This shows our commitment to the serious Taskforce for organized crime, in which we work with partners on a multi-agency approach to combat the threat from OCGs.

“We cannot do this alone and need the help of the public to free these gangs from their communities. I would demand everyone with information or concerns about drugs or organized activities, should contact the police in Scotland under number 101 or call anonymously at Crimestopper at 0800 55 111.”
