ORGANISED drugs gangs are commuting to the south from major cities elsewhere to sell illegal substances, the Daily Echo can reveal.

Today Hampshire officers were launching a major crackdown on drug dealing in Southampton.
The Rat On A Rat campaign - backed by the Daily Echo - is aimed at getting the public's help to stamp out dealing.
Last month the Daily Echo revealed that police in Hampshire were making an average of seven drugs seizures every day - a 600 per cent rise in the last decade.
Tracking down the dealers. See today's Spotlight feature under the 'More News' section.
