A 26-year-old man and a woman, also aged 26, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.

Inspector Steven King, Gedling’s neighbourhood policing inspector said: “The intelligence-based raid uncovered evidence this property was being used as a drugs den.

“Criminal activity of this nature brings nothing but problems to a community so it was pleasing to take positive action against it.

“It is always good news when we can take drugs and weapons off the streets, as well as seize cash which we suspect has been sourced through criminality.

“Tackling drug dealing and production is a priority for neighbourhood teams in Gedling so this is a positive result which is hopefully welcomed in the community.”
