Eight Bags of White Powder Found
During Operation Guardian – a crackdown involving both uniformed and undercover cops hunting illegal drugs in Nottingham city centre – the man was stopped and searched. Officers discovered eight bags of white powder, believed to be Class A drugs, on him.
He was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply. After being taken into custody for questioning, he was released on bail with strict conditions pending further enquiries.
Operation Guardian Cracking Down on Drugs and Violence
Operation Guardian is now a staple in Nottingham’s city centre. Its targeted searches are credited with reducing drugs and the violent crime often linked to drug dealing after dark.
“The production and supply of illegal drugs blights our communities and we will continue to take action against anyone involved in drug dealing.” – Sergeant Graham Whitt, Operation Guardian lead
