"They're ruthless, ruthless people" County Lines is an operation run by powerful drug gangs who are destroying lives across the UK | BBC Hampshire & Isle of Wight

We are working in partnership to educate residents about County Lines. This is where drug gangs come into the county and use young people to deal and move drugs for them. Drug gangs exploit young people – they lure them in with talk of friendship and belonging, they give them cash, new clothes, trainers, jewellery but then the exploitation and intimidation starts.
