A sickening video appears to show a group of alleged drug users shooting up outside flats in broad daylight. <\/p>\n
The group were seen congregating in a barely-covered doorway drinking spirits from a bottle and injecting themselves with what appears to be drugs. <\/p>\n
A concerned resident filmed the group from an upstairs window, where he lives with his two young children. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Keith Allison, 45, from west Hull, says he was disgusted when he saw the scenes unfold in front of his eyes. <\/p>\n
Mr Allison, who called the group a \"joke\", was in his house when his partner filmed the group from a bedroom in his house. <\/p>\n
He said: This isnt the first time its happened which is why we filmed it. <\/p>\n
\"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. <\/p>\n
Keith slammed the group for hardly concealing themselves. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Keith said big groups, not dissimilar to the one in the video, are always hanging around the area. <\/p>\n
Ive never seen a drug exchange myself but theres always people loitering at the edge of the park and waiting for something,\" he said. <\/p>\n
\"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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The pair were so still the nine-year old thought they had died. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Keith said: Theres always discarded needles lying around. Its disgusting and scary. What if a little kid picked them up? Its not safe. <\/p>\n
He also mentioned that the groups argue and fight amongst themselves. <\/p>\n
He said: We know the stuff going on. I wouldnt want my ten-year-old playing out there. <\/p>\n
Its unfortunate but some of this is just routine around here. <\/p>\n
Ward councillor Nadine Fudge said: This is a big problem around the area, particularly the park. <\/p>\n
\"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. <\/p>\n
\"The main thing is to educate people about the problem. <\/p>\n
Mrs Fudge mentioned the chemist in the area opens until late and provides a methadone programme and clinic. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
\"We are going to find and catch the drug dealers and hopefully the users will move on. <\/p>\n
A statement on the Humberside Police website says: \"Drugs and drug related crime have a huge negative impact on our communities. <\/p>\n
\"We are committed to tackling the problems associated with drug use and drug dealing across Humberside and welcome any information you may have. <\/p>\n
\"We would encourage anyone with information about drug dealling to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.\" <\/p>\n
