The Right Fix: Drugs in Bristol

Many crimes carried out in Bristol are drug-related

Police believe about 1,000 people are carrying out half of all the crime that takes place in Bristol.

Many of the crimes are linked to drugs, and acting on intelligence from local communities, the police are cracking down on the dealers.

In a series of special reports, The Right Fix, home affairs correspondent Steve Brodie will be exploring the impact of drugs on Bristol.
