Middlesbrough the cheapest place in the country to buy Heroin

Drugscope have released figures naming Middlesbrough the cheapest place in the country to buy Heroin. Prices have been as low as £5 for a 0.2g. This may be because the town acts a transit point for drugs throughout the north east.

Joint commissioning manager for Safer Middlesbrough Partnership, Dave Jackson, appeared on BBC Radio Cleveland last year about Middlesbrough having the cheapest Cocaine. With the new figures claiming Middlesbrough now has the cheapest Heroin instead, Dave explained if anything has changed:

"Things have changed, the Safer Middlesbrough Partnership works closely with all its partner organisations, and when police are involved we go out and work with them in the community.
