Woman, 73, and man, 23 arrested after Telford drugs bust

Officers carried out the warrant at a property in Sutton Hill on Thursday where they found a quantity of class A and class B drugs, as well as cash.

A man aged 23, and a woman aged 73, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

Both have been released on police bail as enquiries continue.

Detective Sergeant Andy Pond, from Telford's Proactive CID Team, said: “This warrant shows we will not stop in our pursuit to disrupt those who we suspect are involved in drugs and drug supply, which ultimately heaps misery in our communities.

“We will not tolerate drugs within our communities and will continue to act on information given to us regarding drugs.”
