Best of: On the line - the never-ending battle

This is episode two of a five-part special investigation into county lines drug dealing from The Times and The Sunday Times first published in March.

Today we go inside Operation Titan, as North Yorkshire Police fight back against county lines drugs gangs. But with each line the police shut down, another pops up in its place, sometimes within days. The Sunday Times' northern editor David Collins investigates how to break the cycle.
