Clear, Hold, Build: 'Building Barrowcliff Together' project gathers momentum
Main article content
Scarborough’s Neighbourhood Policing Team led a Clear, Hold, Build operation this morning in the Barrowcliff area (Monday 8 July 2024) which resulted in five people being arrested.
Officers from the Operational Support Unit, other specialist teams and British Transport Police were among those deployed onto the estate.
The arrests included a 35-year-old Scarborough woman, an 18-year-old Scarborough man, an 18-year-old Hull woman, a 15-year-old Scarborough boy and a 32-year-old man being arrested in connection with drug offences.
They remain in custody for questioning at this time.
Multi-agency teams are working within the community as part of the Clear, Hold, Build project - named 'Building Barrowcliff Together' - which was launched back in March to drive out organised crime and secure a better future for the estate.
Police patrols have been stepped up in the area to provide reassurance to residents.
Sergeant Tom Wilkinson, who coordinated the operation, said: “We intend to seek out, disrupt and convict those who are involved in serious organised crime.
"I would personally like to thank our communities who have given us information which has allowed us to take action. We are listening to what we are being told and we will continue to take action where we can.”
