‘Drug users’ filmed ‘shooting up’ in broad daylight outside flats before staggering away in trance-like state – Mirror.co.uk

A sickening video appears to show a group of alleged drug users shooting up outside flats in broad daylight.

The group were seen congregating in a barely-covered doorway drinking spirits from a bottle and injecting themselves with what appears to be drugs.

A concerned resident filmed the group from an upstairs window, where he lives with his two young children.

Soon after, the group were filmed walking away in a "trance-like" state moving slowly, drinking from a bottle and staggering around after appearing to "shoot up" in the doorway, the Hull Daily Mail.

Keith Allison, 45, from west Hull, says he was disgusted when he saw the scenes unfold in front of his eyes.

Mr Allison, who called the group a "joke", was in his house when his partner filmed the group from a bedroom in his house.

He said: This isnt the first time its happened which is why we filmed it.

"Ive got two young kids and if they looked out the window, or god forbid stepped out the back gate, theyd come face to face with it. Its not fair.

Keith slammed the group for hardly concealing themselves.

In the video, one woman can clearly be seen with her trousers by her ankle injecting into her leg or groin, whilst another woman injects a needle into her arm.

Keith said big groups, not dissimilar to the one in the video, are always hanging around the area.

Ive never seen a drug exchange myself but theres always people loitering at the edge of the park and waiting for something," he said.

"A car often pulls up. They literally go and do it in the first doorway they come across. The street is crawling with people like this.

In July this year, the newspaper reported a young girl stumbled across two drug users with needles hanging out their legs at the park near where this group were filmed.

The pair were so still the nine-year old thought they had died.

Keith, who has a ten-year-old and fourteen-year-old, says he is concerned about the welfare of those growing up around this type of behaviour.

Keith said: Theres always discarded needles lying around. Its disgusting and scary. What if a little kid picked them up? Its not safe.

He also mentioned that the groups argue and fight amongst themselves.

He said: We know the stuff going on. I wouldnt want my ten-year-old playing out there.

Its unfortunate but some of this is just routine around here.

Ward councillor Nadine Fudge said: This is a big problem around the area, particularly the park.

"Weve put notices up around it in different languages asking people not to drink or use drugs there. Weve paid for a lot of CCTV around the area so we know whats going on.

"The main thing is to educate people about the problem.

Mrs Fudge mentioned the chemist in the area opens until late and provides a methadone programme and clinic.

She said: We had the same type of problem on another street, it is an ongoing problem but we managed to sort it out there so we will use the same tactics here.

"We are going to find and catch the drug dealers and hopefully the users will move on.

A statement on the Humberside Police website says: "Drugs and drug related crime have a huge negative impact on our communities.

"We are committed to tackling the problems associated with drug use and drug dealing across Humberside and welcome any information you may have.

"We would encourage anyone with information about drug dealling to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
