"Let’s be clear County Lines drug dealers will be arrested, have their drugs seized, their homes searched and their assets recovered."

The spokesperson added that there was a long way to go with the investigation but the aim would be to turn the criminal assets into a tangible benefit for communities under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
