The man was further held on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, possession of an imitation firearm and possession of criminal property.

Officers from the Gedling North neighbourhood policing team, assisted by other police teams, also seized and searched a high-value car.

Sergeant Alison Riley, of the neighbourhood team, said: “The raid uncovered evidence of a large-scale and lucrative business selling illegal drugs.

“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 and goods which we suspect have been sourced through criminality.”
