There are about 2,500 heroin and crack addicts in Swindon.
They are responsible for most burglaries and steal a staggering £180,000 of goods from shops daily.
Last year, the Evening Advertiser and the police teamed up to launch the Swindon Drugs Hotline. Call the number if you suspect someone of dealing in your community.
