THREE arrests have been made by police trying to stop drugs being brought into Worcester.
Drugs, bladed weapons and a firearm were seized by officers who carried out the warrants at addresses in Birmingham.
Following intel provided by the public and working in conjunction with West Midlands Police, two warrants were carried out in Wakeford Road and Gorleston Road, Birmingham, on Tuesday, March 5.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and being in possession with the intent to supply class A drugs.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possession of a firearm.
A 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a firearm. The three men remain in police custody whilst enquiries continue.
Detective Sergeant Krisoffer Stevens, based in Worcester, said: “The warrant yesterday shows we will not tolerate drugs within our communities and we will not leave any stone unturned to disrupt the criminals that bring drugs into Worcester.
“Local communities play a huge part in our fight in getting drugs off the street, and my message is simple, if you suspect anything like this is happening near you or causing issues to your community, don’t sit in silence, report it to us and we will act on it.”
Anyone with information on drug dealing can call police on 101.
Alternatively, anyone with information about drugs and drugs supply and don’t want to speak to police, can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or crimestoppers-uk.org.
