Det Insp Dan Bickford said: “We understand the harm that drugs bring to our communities. Carrying out these proactive warrants is vital in disrupting drug supply.

“These drugs are now off our streets and out of circulation.

“I encourage members of the public to report concerns of drug supply to us. We will listen, and we will act.”
