Officers in Edinburgh were able to work with their counterparts from the West Midlands to rescue a young teen who was being used as a drug mule across County and national lines.
Police Scotland were alerted to a high risk 15-year-old that had gone missing and was suspected to be held in the Scottish capital. Police from the West Midlands told Edinburgh coppers that the individual was believed to be involved in ‘County lines activity.’
The Edinburgh County Lines Unit (ECLU), who were supported by officers from the English police branch, were able to locate the missing teen, who was safe and well, in a flat in the city. They were then taken home.
