In a series of drug-related crackdowns and legal proceedings across the West Midlands, multiple individuals have been sentenced for their involvement in drug dealing and violent crimes. Three men connected to the 'Pedro' drugs line, which operated into Malvern, received a combined prison sentence of nine years and nine months following a major investigation by the South Worcestershire County Lines Team. In Shropshire, a police dog named Luna aided in a drug bust during a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant, leading to her human colleagues making an arrest for drug supply. Meanwhile, in Birmingham, a man and a woman were arrested under suspicion of supplying class B drugs on the dark web, as investigated by the Regional Organised Crime Unit West Midlands (ROCUWM). Additionally, a man and a woman were sentenced for supplying cocaine and heroin as part of the 'Dizzy' drug line in Kidderminster, with another man sentenced for permitting the production of Class A drugs on his premises. In a separate but serious incident, three men were jailed for 23 years each for a 'murderous' shooting in a Wolverhampton playground that injured two children, aged 11 and 15, in an attempted murder that was captured on video and has been widely reported as a shocking act of violence.
