West Mercia Police said the arrests came as officers carried out two warrants at addresses in Telford - which it said are believed to be linked to drugs supply.
The first warrant was carried out at an address in Brackenfield in Brookside on Tuesday (January 7) where class A and class B drugs were found, along with a small amount of cash.
Two men found at the address, aged 22 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.
The second warrant was executed on Wednesday (January 8) at an address on Blakemore, also Brookside, where class B drugs were discovered.
A 35-year-old man and a woman, aged 33, who were at the address, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
Police said that all four people who were arrested have since been released under investigation as enquiries continue.
Sergeant Ian Cole from the Brookside Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “We have successfully carried out two warrants at addresses in Brookside over the past two days, where we arrested four people suspected of being linked to drug dealing in the town.
“Drug dealers prey on some of the most vulnerable people in society and their presence in turn causes more crime such as shoplifting, burglary and anti-social behaviour."
