Officers uncovered suspected heroin and crack cocaine, £800 in cash, mobile phones, and other evidence linking the man to serious drug trafficking. He remains in custody, charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
Exploiting the Vulnerable

Police Praise Anonymous Crimestoppers Tip
Inspector Matt Chapman said: “This arrest proves how vital Crimestoppers really is. We don’t know who sent the tip as it’s 100% anonymous, but I’m thankful to anyone who called. It has led to taking a dangerous criminal off the streets.”
“The man we arrested is clearly very dangerous and has exploited vulnerable people for his own gains. This arrest forms part of our ongoing efforts to disrupt violence and keep our community safe.”
A special team of 11 neighbourhood officers is dedicated to tackling drugs and violence in the area. They worked tirelessly to gather the evidence needed to nab this suspect and protect the community from further harm.
