Tourists flocking to Skegness - many of them from Nottinghamshire - are being warned that the popular resort is targeted by drug dealers during the summer months. Excessive drinking and domestic abuse were also highlighted by the area's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
Marc Jones, Lincolnshire PCC, said an added police presence keeps the coastal town safe despite more drug dealers operating in the area. Two Road Policing Units have recently been formed to tackle the issue of criminals entering Lincolnshire from other areas of the country. Mr Jones said the officers would be working in Skegness over the summer.
He said: "In certain areas around the country you get a massive increase in population during the summer months, and Skegness is one of those. Along with extra people comes extra challenge those communities bring.
