The joint operation with officers in Lincolnshire was described as "a great result for everyone involved".

A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, while a 32-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

A 32-year-old man was arrested for burglary offences committed in Lincolnshire, while a 51-year-old man was arrested for unrelated offences after being spotted in the area by officers carrying out the Newark raids.
