A CAMPAIGN to stamp out drug dealing recorded its 200th arrest during a police operation this morning.
Five people were arrested and cannabis was found by Darlington police conducting the latest raid as part of Operation Nimrod.
More than 80 officers were involved in the operation which targeted nine addresses in the North Road, Brinkburn Road, Whinfield and Bank Top areas of the town.
It follows similar raids last week when 15 people were arrested, of which eight people were remanded in custody.
More than 200 people have been arrested since last April when Operation Nimrod was launched in the town and other parts of County Durham.
Anyone with information about drug dealing can contact police either on 0345-60-60-365 or anonymously on Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111.
