County lines is a major threat to young people and vulnerable adults throughout England,
Scotland and Wales. “County lines” is a term used to describe gangs and organised criminal
networks involved in moving illegal drugs in the UK. They are likely to use young people to
move and store the drugs or money, and they will often use violence and force.
This leaflet provides information on the warning signs for parents/carers to look out for and tips on what they can do to help. There are contact numbers and email addresses at the end if you need help, advice or guidance with anything County Lines related.
