Knife and Drugs Seized in Meadows Drug Raid
Police swooped on a Blackstone Walk property in The Meadows at 3.30pm on Saturday (December 17) after a tip-off from the public about suspected drug dealing.
Officers from The Meadows neighbourhood policing team and Riverside response teams found a 19-year-old man inside. They seized a knife, cannabis, cash, phones, and drug paraphernalia at the scene.
The man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and possession of an offensive weapon.
Strong Police Response to Drug Concerns
“We have been working really hard recently to respond to concerns about drug dealing in parts of The Meadows and this is another important arrest,” said Police Constable Adam Smith of Nottinghamshire Police.
“Taking a dangerous knife off the streets is always a good result. We are determined to keep potentially lethal weapons like this out of the hands of offenders.”
Teamwork Key in Battling Crime
Inspector Karl Thomas, district commander for Nottingham South, added: “Policing is all about teamwork and this was a great example of two teams working together to achieve a fantastic result.”
“Targeting drug dealers is one of our beat priorities in The Meadows and I would like to thank members of the public who continue to provide us with vital information to pursue these offenders.”
“Tackling knife crime is also very much an ongoing challenge for us as we continue to take blades off the streets and educate people on the dangers of carrying them.”
