Eight people have been arrested and a quantity of Class A drugs have been seized after Northamptonshire Police’s Serious and Organised Crime Team executed a number of warrants in East Northamptonshire.
On the evening of Wednesday, July 19, 40 officers - including those from the Special Constabulary, entered a number of properties in Thrapston and Raunds.
The enforcement activity was designed to target those suspected of being involved in serious criminality and a large quantity of Class A drugs was seized from the properties, including cocaine and heroin.
Eight people were arrested in total – six men and two women.
All eight have been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
Detective Sergeant Keith Morson from the Force’s Serious and Organised Crime Team said: “We’re really pleased with the results of this operation as it saw cocaine, cannabis, heroin, weapons and cash all seized.
“I hope this action provides reassurance to our communities across the county that Northamptonshire Police takes the supply of drugs seriously and will take positive action against those involved.”
