Massive drugs raid in Hayes
POLICE have swooped in on drug dealers in Hayes in a major operation.
The raid this afternoon in Hayes town centre invloved 50 police officers in a bid to crack down on open street dealing.
Police and Hillingdon council have now pledged to monitor the area in an ongoing operation.
Borough Commander for Hillingdon, Chief Superintendent Carl Bussey said: "There has been a 10 per cent reduction of crime in the borough that is not being reflected in the way the people of Hayes town centre feel.
"The fear of crime in the area of Hayes Town centre is disproportionate to the actual number of crimes taking place because of those dealers and users hanging around the area."
He added: "This has been methodically planned operation targeting those that we know have been involved in the supply of drugs on a regular basis."
Police believe there are around 15 people regularly involved in the supply of class A drugs which bring at least 60 regular users into the area.
Mr Bussey added: "This will not be tolerated and we will continue to work with the local authority, community and other partners against those who chose to deal drugs in Hillingdon."
Councillor Douglas Mills cabinet member for community safety and partnership at Hillingdon Council said: "Community safety is one of the council's priorities and a significant amount of work has already been undertaken by the community safety partnership to reduce crime and improve the Hayes area.
"This started with the week of action earlier this year, which shows our commitment to reducing crime and improving the local neighbourhood."
He added: "Today's events are the culmination of several months of partnership work, with significant support from the local community.
"The council will now be working closely with the local community, local safer neighbourhoods team and others to continue making improvements to the Hayes and Botwell areas."
What do you think about getting drug dealers off the streets?

a typical knee jerk reaction, this has been going on for years and now they chose to act. in a couple of weeks they will be back on the street corners dealing again.most of them should be sent back to their country of origin, Somalia,they escaped trouble there, and cause it here.

agree with Sin-ic for years Hayes has been a trading centre for drugs Barra hall is rife in fact most of Townfield ward is, close them down then what? I will give it two weeks, and the whites are dealing not just Somalians

I agree, this has been going on for ages. And it will start again soon. It is not only Somalian's, it is Asian and white folk too. You can never win the war again drug dealing, however you can keep it down to a minimum. There needs to be regular police in and around the area on patrols ALL the time. It is not safe anymore and the police/council need to come up with a permanent long term solution that will start working immediately.

wont the police ever learn, if you want to stop drug dealing, then get the business men behind this awful trade. there are always others willing to handle the stuff for a small fee.concentrate the resources on finding the money men that finance this trade, not picking up the stupid ones who are expendable.

I agree send them all home the ones who are creating trouble and the ones who live here, send them to exile! honestly the place is riddled with drugs and violence, i wont even go to Hayes at night ever. i used to live around the area and it has progressively gotten worse, but then so have all the areas, even ickenham is rough now, it used to be a lovely 'rich' area with little or no crime. now kids are fighting in the streets. this world and area is going to pot and the government just ignore it and let it roll on and let more and more people in till England bursts. lets deal with the problems here before we help everyone else. There are plenty of issues to be sorted in England as a whole.

this is about the danger of drugs, not about immigration. I still wont believe a drug free Hayes until its proved by being able to walk the length of station road without being asked if I want to buy some.

I lived quite happily in Hayes for a number of years in the 90`s.
You can not say it has nothing to do with immigration. We have imported all these people from warzones whos morals and respect for human life and respect for the law is very different.
Unfortunatley as long as we continue to accept this as fact the problem will only get worse.
Hence my children dont leave the house with any thing of value as the they will probably loose it through an act of crime.
And the ethnic origin of the friends of theirs who have mugged them........leave it up to you to guess.

F*** the police! Theyre just doing what they think the people want. If its not them supplying its guna be some1 else. Youll never stop it no matter how many arrests you make there will always be survivours. Do the dealers even bother anyone? they just go about theyre business. if addicts dont get theyre medicine from hayes town, theyll just hop on the train and go southall. Levels of crime in hayes have gone down because the town is under control and there is order. I hope everyone enjoys the next few weeks until things get back to normal. FREE EVERYONE!

And like a next man said if you really want to solve the problem go and ask the government how the drugs get into the country in the frist place. With all the technology nowa days you think that its people from the street importing it??? The government are much bigger drug dealers than anyone in hayes town
