A police and crime commissioner says cannabis should be made into a class A drug, in line with substances such as cocaine and heroin. And Alison Hernandez says the drug should never be legalised.
She made the suggestion after a large police operation in her south Devon area, which involved a specialist team of officers from Merseyside, as they tried to crack down on drug users and dealers allegedly involved in County Lines operations. These 'County Lines' operations often involve drugs being ferried from larger areas to smaller ones.
The south Devon operation say police using dog handlers and dogs, drones, and volunteer special officers, as well as response crews, neighbourhood police and detectives, reports PlymouthLive. They linked up with the Merseyside Police 'Operation Medusa' team that uses specially trained officers to clampdown on drugs being ferried into the South West from Liverpool.
