A man has been arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled drugs of class A with intent to supply following a police raid in Redditch last week.
Police executed two drugs warrants at around 9am on Friday (November 25) at properties on Haseley Close and Woodfield Close in Redditch and a 38 year-old man from Redditch was arrested.
Police seized suspected class A drugs and a large quantity of cash. A Section 18 Police and Criminal Evidence Act search was conducted at a public house off Matchborough Way following the man’s arrest.
PC Rich Field who led the investigation said: “Drugs blight our communities and lead to an increase in violent crime, disorder and acquisitive crime. Drug dealing is a high priority for us, and as part of that, we welcome all information provided by the public.
“A key component is the reduction of supply and demand achieved through the identification and dismantling of trafficking and dealer networks, and the warrants executed today is an example of this.”
“We will continue to execute drugs warrants and other operations in order to disrupt the activity of drug dealers, and want to encourage people to pass on any suspicions or concerns they have.”
Police reported that the man has now been released on bail until January.
Anyone with information about drugs dealers can contact police directly by calling 101 or ringing independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
