Operation Prosper is our partnership approach focused on drugs, violence, antisocial behaviour (ASB), thefts, and robberies in the St Matts and Fishwick wards.

Twenty-five warrants were executed linked to Op Prosper in June 2025, resulting in 25 arrests, 23 remands, £100,000 cash recovered and in excess of £100,000 worth of class A drugs.
