As part of our fight to tackle serious and organised crime in our area, our Kinetic Intervention Team alongside North Hull Neighbourhood Policing Teams undertaking Clear Hold Build activity, conducted five simultaneous warrants on Orchard Park this morning (Wednesday 23 October).

To disrupt those operating on Orchard Park, officers conducted the warrants at properties on Cladshaw, Ancourt, Easthorpe, Blythorpe and Chadcourt.

Upon entering, officers searching the addresses seized a quantity of class A drugs.

The Kinetic Intervention Team are part of the Serious Organised Crime (SOC) team and are the reactive arm of the police used to support commands, teams, and partners force wide, and cross-border to tackle those responsible for crime.

This is carried out by targeting organised crime groups, drugs activity and high risk of harm offenders.

The team includes very highly trained officers with a specialist skill set, including method of entry, Taser, Police Support Unit (PSU) and licensed search officers.

Their daily activities include execution of rapid entry warrants, locating and arresting suspects, and searching locations, vehicles, and premises for evidence. In addition to this, they also coordinate searches to locate high risk missing people, provide support at public events, football matches and protests and ensure they have high visibility patrols in hot spot crime areas.  

This work is aligned with the national Home Office programme Clear Hold Build, a multi-agency led initiative which proactively tackles organised crime head on whilst helping to regenerate the communities in Grimsby, Hull and Bridlington.

Watch them in action.
