Specially trained officers from Operation Shield have been working hard to dismantle organised crime groups operating within the Humberside Police area.

Organised crime has the potential to affect every part of a community and it can take many forms – whether that be human trafficking, sexual exploitation or the importation of weapons, drugs or counterfeit goods.

Chief Constable Paul Anderson said: “We are here to serve, to protect and to keep people safe. Our focus on serious and organised crime across the Humberside Police area continues, as we work to dismantle organised crime groups.

“We remain committed to this by targeting those who cause the most harm in our communities, taking a proactive approach to arresting suspects and preventing crime through operations like Operation Shield.

“Organised crime groups prey on vulnerable people. Specialist teams across my force continue to work around the clock to protect those in our area who are vulnerable.”
