Drug importation in Dorset is a "24/7 market"

Communities in west Dorset are being targeted by city drug gangs using a practice known as county lines. Gangs from London, Liverpool and Birmingham establish unique phone numbers to advertise and sell class A drugs, most heroin and cocaine. The gangs recruit vulnerable people and children but often exploit them using violence and intimidation.
