Warrant executed in Woodford Halse results in seized firearms

Officers from Daventry’s Neighbourhood Policing Team have launched an investigation into firearms offences after an early morning warrant was executed at an address in Church Street, Woodford Halse.

At 9am yesterday morning (August 24), officers went through the doors of a property in the area and once inside, found evidence of cannabis cultivation at the address and a number of suspected firearms.

PC Josh Tyers, said: “This warrant was executed in partnership with teams across the Force including Daventry’s Neighbourhood Policing team and South Northants’ Neighbourhood Policing Team supported by the Operations Tactical Unit Armed Response Officers.

“I’m pleased with the outcome of this warrant and I hope it reassures the local community that we are responding to their concerns and remain steadfast in tackling the scourge of illegal drugs.

“Finally, I would appeal to members of the public to keep reporting suspicious behaviour to us or anyone suspected of drug dealing. Community intelligence is vital to our work and the information provided really helps us build a picture of the issues affecting a specific area.”
