THREE PEOPLE have been arrested on suspicion of drug dealing after police carried out raids in Evesham yesterday (Wednesday, March 18).
Following intelligence around suspected drug supply into the town, officers targeted properties including a shop on Waterside, and a house in Oak Tree Close.
Officers discovered suspected class A drugs, cash, mobile phones and other drug paraphernalia.
The two men, aged 29 and 22, and a 29-year-old woman were detained on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and were taken into custody. They have since been released on bail.
Insp Dave Wise, from Evesham Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “The arrests and multiple warrants carried out near our town centre are a result of community intelligence and listening to the priorities set for us by the people of Evesham.
“Drug dealing is not welcome in our town, and we will continue to take robust action against those who seek to profit from it.
“The impact of drugs goes far beyond those directly involved.
“It brings harm to vulnerable people, fuels wider criminality, and undermines the safety and wellbeing of our community.
“We remain committed to working tirelessly to protect residents and ensuring Evesham continues to be a safe place to live.”
