Specialist Enforcement Unit takes to the roads

A newly formed SEU will carry out disruption and enforcement operations on roads across Sussex specifically targeting those involved in serious, organised and violent crime.

The SEU is a cadre of highly-trained police officers and is equipped to be a one-stop-shop for road crime with the ability to identify, intercept and apprehend offenders, as they travel. The unit can also seize drugs and stolen goods and investigate crimes right through to conviction in the Courts.

So far the unit made 17 arrests for supply of class A drugs, money laundering and other drug related motoring offences. It has also seized six vehicles and made 93 seizures of drugs.
