One of the males was found to have over 100 wraps of suspected class A drugs on him. Both had a quantity of cash on them.

Both males were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

PC Emma Rice, of the Dedicated Crime Team, said: “Both of the males we located have since been released under investigation and enquiries in relation to these individuals are currently ongoing. As well as this, we will be seeking to obtain a partial closure order for the address in Penhill due to concerns involving the vulnerable occupant.

“Closure orders help us protect vulnerable people who may be being exploited by drug gang members – the orders, if approved by the courts, will mean that nobody other than the occupant is allowed inside the address and failure to comply with this could result in arrest.”
