A 21-year-old man from Rockwell Green, Wellington was arrested last week after police seized tens of thousands of pounds in cash and suspected class A and class B drugs.

Officers also seized more than 1,000 pouches of tobacco which will be reviewed by Trading Standards as part of the ongoing investigation.

The officers, who were carrying out a drugs warrant, were supported by the Operational Support Team which specialises in searching and dynamic entry.

The team carried out a search warrant under the Misuse of Drug Act at 9am at an address in the Rockwell Green area.

A police spokesperson said: “A 21-year-old man was arrested for a number of offences, including being in possession of class A and class B drugs. He has been released under investigation while enquiries are ongoing.”
