Police team launches website to combat serious and organised crime

A crime team that covers the whole of the south west has launched a website to encourage civilians to help them fight serious and organised crime.

Zephyr is made up of officers from five police forces in the region, including Devon and Cornwall.

The team was launched on September the 1st and has already made around 65 arrests. They've also seized around £500,000 in assets and around £300,000 in cash.

Their new website will enable members of the public to view pictures and videos, as well as making it easier to report any information they may have to the team.

Head of Zephyr, Superintendent Nigel Rock, says it's been successful so far as around half the arrests they've made have been significant members of organised crime groups.
