THE campaign to get drug dealers off the streets of Darlington is continuing to attract support from people in the town.

There have been 90 calls to Crimestoppers since the Rat on a Rat initiative was launched three weeks ago.

Police in Darlington have also received emails to a dedicated website, detailing the movements of drug dealers in the borough.

Sergeant Paul Robinson said: "We are quite happy with the initiative.

"It has exceeded our expectations, both in the number of calls we have received and the content of the information. We will be issuing warrants for the arrest of specific individuals as a result of the scheme."

Rat on a Rat was launched to encourage people in Darlington to give information to the police about drug dealers.

Although the fight against drugs is ongoing in the town, the campaign has drawn specific attention to the problem.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Crimestoppers on (0800) 555111 or visit the website at www.nettherat.org

All information received on the website, or through Crimestoppers, will be treated in the strictest confidence and all leads will be followed up.
