At the first address, two men were arrested and a quantity of Class A drugs, cannabis and £50,000 cash was also seized. One man, aged 26, was arrested for possession of drugs with intent to supply and money laundering and a second, aged 37 years, for money laundering. Both were subsequently bailed pending further enquiries.
At a second address a 17yr old was arrested and charged with possession of cannabis.
At a third address drugs paraphernalia was seized and a closure order will be applied for under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act.
