  17. Harrogate hears of county lines kids too young to arrestpublished at 17:54 British Summer Time 10 May 2019

    County lines drug dealers are increasingly using children under 10 because they're too young to be arrested, senior police have told a conference in North Yorkshire.

    An event at Harrogate’s Grove Academy, for professionals working with young people, heard how criminals are exploiting loopholes surrounding criminal responsibility which starts at 10.

    In England and Wales, children under 10 can't be arrested or charged with a crime, external, although they can be given curfews and supervision orders and in some cases they might be taken into care.

    County lines sees gangs from cities sell drugs in suburbs, towns and coastal areas, often recruiting local people, including children.

    Det Insp Stuart Liddell of the National County Lines Coordination Centre, told the event that the practice had seen children recruited in a way that was unprecedented.

    The event heard that North Yorkshire is the highest importer of county lines drugs in Yorkshire, with 72 identified mobile phones lines used to call for drugs, while the highest exporter is West Yorkshire, with 69 identified phone lines.

    According to current information there are nine county lines operating in North Yorkshire but police suspect that there are more which haven’t been picked up due to a “massive intelligence gap”.

    A specialist police team in Harrogate has made more than 100 arrests since its formation in March 2018, including local children and those from elsewhere in the country.

    These photographs were taken during North Yorkshire Police's county lines crackdown in October last year, which saw arrests in York, Thirsk, Scarborough, Harrogate and the Filey area.
