Two men were arrested after a warrant was executed at a campsite in Herefordshire this morning (Thursday 7 August) over concerns of drug dealing.
Police were acting on intelligence surrounding suspected supply of class A and B drugs into the Hereford and Leominster areas.
Officers from Hereford CID were supported by Task Force, the Local Policing Priorities Team (LPPT), Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team (NCFT) and a dog handler as they attended the site off Stonehouse Lane near Bringsty.
They arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs as they carried out a search of the caravans and outbuildings on the site.
A second man in his 20s was also arrested on suspicion of threats to cause criminal damage and being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
A third person – a woman in her 20s – was arrested for failing to appear at court on a separate matter.
A quantity of cannabis was found, and mobile phones were checked as part of the investigation into suspected drug dealing in the county.
Detective Sergeant Jim Moore of Hereford Proactive CID said: “This morning, Herefordshire officers executed a warrant at a campsite near Bringsty following intelligence gathered around suspected dealing of class A and B drugs into the Hereford and Leominster areas.
“A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs – cocaine and is currently helping us with our investigation.
“A quantity of cannabis was seized from one of the properties and mobile phone searches conducted – further enquiries will be made.
“We hope today’s actions shows we will always act on concerns around the supply of drugs in our county and act where appropriate to disrupt and shut down drug dealing networks where possible.”
