Samurai swords and a quantity of class A drugs were seized during a warrant carried out by officers in Taunton this morning, Mon 30th.
The warrant, which was under the Misuse of Drugs Act, was executed at around 10am at a property in Horner Road.
The warrant came as a direct result of intelligence received from the local community.
Officers seized a quantity of suspected crack cocaine and cannabis, cash, knifes and Samurai swords and mobile phones.
Five people – two 36-year-old women, a 23-year-old man, a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy – were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
