Operation Mercury (Part One) (21x23)

: 23, 2005

Laura and Lance head up a new operation on the Cole Lane Estate, known as Operation Mercury. Their attempt to get two young boys to give up information on a known dealer results in them crossing paths with an elderly man known as 'Asbo Boy', who has been harassing local youths for playing cricket in the street. While they deal with the latest incident involving 'Asbo Boy', Yvonne and Steve attend the scene when a drug dealer is thrown from a walkway on the estate. They soon discover an elderly resident has been flyposting pictures of the dealer in an attempt to name and shame him. Steve is forced to arrest Scott Burnett after he is caught brawling with Greg Campbell.
