NORTHUMBERLAND'S top cop last night warned the county's criminals he would hound them continually for the next six months.
Early morning raids were mounted this week against a range of targets - and Chief Supt Kevin Lambert said they would not be the last.
Criminals involved in violent assaults, house burglaries, drug dealing, vehicle thefts and other offences face being arrested and taken to court as part of a wide-ranging operation across the county, which will last well into 2009.
They can expect to be targeted by more early-morning police raids and well-planned, intelligence-led operations aimed at tackling specific crimes affecting local communities.
Operation Conquest - which has been launched in response to an increase in crime in Northumberland this summer - will rely on help from law-abiding citizens fed up with the criminals and troublemakers blighting their neighbourhoods.
