Five people have been arrested during a morning drugs raid in a residential street.

Northamptonshire Police said a "large quantity" of Class A drugs was found at a house in Nethermead Court, in Northampton.

Cash and weapons were also seized, the force said.

The raid was led by the force's Child Exploitation Hub Disruption Team, who executed a warrant at the house just before 06:00 on 29 August.

The police said crack cocaine and heroin with a street value of between £20,000 and £40,000 were found.

Bladed weapons and £2,500 in cash were also seized.

Northamptonshire Police said two men, a woman and two teenage boys were charged with conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.

One of the men has also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a private place and possession of cannabis.

The 16-year-old has been charged with possession of cannabis, and the other man faces a charge of acquiring criminal property.

The adults were remanded in custody while the teenage boys were released on conditional bail.

They will appear at Northampton Crown Court on 11 October.
