The warrant resulted in Class C controlled substances being seized, including steroids and prescription only medication.

PC Pierson, town centre beat manager, said: “Thanks to information from members of the local community we were able to gather evidence over the last couple of months that enabled us to execute this warrant with confidence and success. A substantial amount of items were seized and taken out of circulation.

“The support of our community is so important and we would like to thank the people who come forward with information that we can use to help make our communities safer.

“I would ask anyone who has any information about the supply of any sort of drugs in the local community to either call us on 101 and ask to speak to their local neighbourhood team or to email or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
