Police stormed three properties in Porthleven simultaneously, nabbing a man on serious drug charges. The dramatic raid happened early on Wednesday 18 February, leaving the town in shock.
Doors Forced Open, Drugs and Cash Seized
Officers from Falmouth and Helston Neighbourhood Team teamed up with Neighbourhood Support Team (NST) and Force Support Group (FSG) to execute the warrants. They smashed down doors and found a stash of drugs and cash hidden inside.
Social housing providers were informed of the operation. Since the raids led to property damage, the tenants must cover repair costs.
