Speaking to the Herald recently, he said: “What you are seeing certainly in Worthing is a reduction in that high level of violence related to drug dealing.

“Eighteen months ago we were seeing quite a lot of serious violent crime related to drug. I could quite clearly link a lot of the significant events to county line drug dealing.

“Now you barely see any. I think part of that is because we’ve managed to prevent these criminals from getting a foothold in the town, they’ve not got that base.”
