Nearly half a million pounds worth of cannabis has been recovered from a Sheffield suburb in the last three weeks alone.

Sergeant Simon Kirkham from South Yorkshire Police’s Walkley and Hillsborough Neighbourhood Policing Team said the team has ‘recovered just under £500,000 of cannabis from Walkley alone’ over the last three weeks, in an update to residents.

He said the action from the team will help to generate ‘prisoners and a great deal of intelligence upon which we can act’.

“Our communities play a massive part in all this and your help and support is much appreciated. It’s priceless. Thank you,” Sgt Kirkham said.
