Drugs and knife arrests in Telford
A West Mercia Police team arrested four people yesterday, taking class A drugs and a bladed weapon off the streets of Telford.
Officers from the Local Policing Priority Team North said they "started 2020 as [they] mean to go on" after making four separate arrests on Thursday.
They recovered two weapons, class A drugs and bags containing £10 and £20 notes.
The arrests were all in the Telford area. One suspect was found to have more than 70 wraps of what was believed to be heroin and crack cocaine and was arrested for possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.
Another was caught with an animal pattern knife and an extendable baton, one was recalled to prison and another was arrested in accordance with a warrant after failing to appear at court.
