GMP support North West Regional Organised Crime Unit ‘Eyes Open’ county lines campaign


The campaign aims to educate communities and protect vulnerable children from falling victim to criminal gangs who would exploit them.

 

County lines refers to the networks that gangs use to distribute drugs from cities to smaller towns and rural areas. These criminal operations often use children and young people as mules to transport and sell drugs across different locations.

 

Gangs use grooming tactics to recruit children to work for them, such as offering gifts like new clothes, gadgets or money. These seemingly harmless and friendly gestures come at a price and children are coerced into criminal activity with threats of violence and blackmail. Exploitation can have a devastating lifelong impact on the lives of victims and their families.
