Great weekend results for all police departments working with Op Galaxy

Update from Humberside Police:-

A total of fourteen people have been arrested over the weekend thanks to Op Galaxy officers working closely with other teams across the force.

Thousands of pounds of drugs and cash have been seized along with weapons, three warrants were executed, six arrest attempts were made, and two properties were searched in connection with alleged offences.

Intelligence and information has been passed on, shared and used by the team to get the results. The hard work by all our officers from all across the force continues to contribute to the successes of Op Galaxy.

Friday 8 November

• Three warrants were executed at properties on Durban Road and Hainton Road in Grimsby and Lovett Street, Cleethorpes. Eleven people in total – four women and seven men – were arrested at the properties on suspicion of offences relating to drugs.
• These included being concerned in the supply of drugs, cultivations of cannabis, and money laundering. Two men were also arrested in connection with modern day slavery offences.
• The warrants resulted in £6,000 worth of cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin being seized. 10 cannabis plants were also seized as well as over £2,000 in cash. A machete and a meat cleaver were found at the Hainton Road address (see photos).

Saturday 9 November

• A man from North Lincolnshire was arrested and voluntarily interviewed in connection with allegations about sexual offence allegations dating back to the early 2000s. He was released after the interview and further enquiries continue. 
• Three arrest attempts were made for men in Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and Hessle. One in connection with arson with intent, one with sexual assault, and one with failing to appear in court.
