Gang related criminal behaviours

If you think a child is in danger right now, call the police by dialling 999.

If you are worried that a child is in a gang or committing crimes, you can call the NSPCC for help and advice. You do not have to say who you are. The NSPCC phone number is 0808 800 5000. You can also find information about gangs and young people on the NSPCC website.

'County Lines’ is what the police call it when city gangs sell drugs in other towns. See the Brighton & Hove Safeguarding Children Partnership for:
