A Crime Stoppers campaign to reduce drug dealing in WA is creating a big increase in crime reports from the public.

Conducted in regional areas, the Dob in a Dealer campaign has increased the number of drug and amphetamine related reports received at Crime Stoppers by around 50%.

Staff at the Grill’d restaurant in Mount Lawley recently selected Crime Stoppers WA as one of the community groups to benefit from their Local Matters program.

Local Matters is a community donation program at Grill’d, which gives back $500 to the local community every month from each of their restaurants.

A ‘significant’ amount of drugs and firearms have been seized by police from Geraldton, Dongara and Port Denison properties as the Crime Stoppers ‘Dob in a Dealer’ campaign continues to get results in WA’s Mid West.

Police say 35 arrests have been made, resulting in numerous seizures of drugs and weapons estimated at more than $50,000.
