Drug dealing and taking

Drug use and drug dealing are criminal offences. You need to report them to the Police immediately:

Call 101 if it’s a non-emergency
Call 999 if it’s an emergency
tell the Police if you’re concerned about your safety.

What you can do

Your first priority must be the safety of you and your family members, and we ask customers to never knowingly put themselves in harm’s way.
Use the ASB App to record sounds, take photos and/or videos of the incident if safe to do so, and create a log of the incidents.
If you are unable to access the ASB App you can request ASB Incident Log Sheets from us by emailing ContactUs@lifestone.co.uk or calling 0300 303 1010.
Report any incidents to the police immediately (in addition to logging it with us) using 999 in an emergency or 101 otherwise. You can also report drug-related criminal behaviour anonymously through crimestoppers-org.uk or calling 101.
Provide us with the references from any reports made to the police.
Support any legal action by providing witness evidence and attending court to give evidence.

What we can do

Take tenancy action if needed, such as applying for court orders or repossessing a property. We can also seek mandatory possession if someone is convicted.

Offer help and support to the victims, including making any safeguarding referrals if appropriate
Consider measures to make the home of the victim safer
Work with the police to use community remedies
We can provide temporary accommodation.

What other agencies can do

The police can arrest, charge and prosecute suspects, and may share evidence with us to support tenancy action.
The police have the power to seize evidence, cordon off crime scenes and apply for Protective or Closure Orders to keep offenders away.
Drug and alcohol support agencies can support people who are using drugs.
