Detective Inspector Andrea Brown, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This represented a great example of our policing teams taking positive action after receiving reports of potential drug activity in our force area.

“Six simultaneous warrants were executed in direct response to this intelligence, which should signify to the public how much of a priority it is for us to keep drugs out of our communities.

“As a direct result of this enforcement, we were able to seize quantities of cocaine, cannabis and cash we suspect was raised through criminal activity.

“Four suspects were also arrested, so this proved to be a good job all-round, that really demonstrated the importance of us working with the community to target crime locally.”
