Town 'sees crime rate double'

CALLINGTON 'OVERRUN WITH DRUGS AND CRIME'

- By ROB CURRELL and MAX PARRY

CALLINGTON has reportedly been overrun with drugs and crime, as police strive to apprehend the area's most notorious dealers.

The town’s teenagers are reportedly addicted to crack cocaine, and the pervasive smell of cannabis is so prevalent it has earned the nickname ‘Callington Cologne’ among locals.

A local drug dealer named Tom confessed to The Sun: “A friend was using crack cocaine, and I tried some. I'd never done it before, but I was hooked. This is not what I want for my life, but I'm addicted so I keep doing it.

“I know it could be laced with anything, like fentanyl, but when I do it, I don’t think about anything else; I just want to get high”.
