Detective Sergeant Andy Pond, from Telford’s Proactive CID, said: "I am really pleased with the result of today’s drugs warrant. Drugs supply has such a negative impact on our communities and can lead to other localised criminality and the harm and exploitation of vulnerable people.

"Drug supply will never be tolerated in our community, and we will continue to act on information around drugs supply in Telford.”
