Teams from the Rushcliffe neighbourhood policing team and tactical support group found cannabis throughout the West Bridgford address.
A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug.
At the East Leake property officers arrested a man after finding two bags of cannabis and a small amount of ketamine.
James Handley, aged 23, of Osier Fields, has been charged with possession with intent to supply a Class B drug and possession of ketamine.
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (9 September) and was remanded in custody to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 7 October 2025.
Inspector Tim Cuthbert, neighbourhood policing inspector for Rushcliffe, said:
“We’re grateful for the information received about these properties which has allowed us to execute warrants, recover drugs and make two arrests – one of which led to a charge.
“Drug supply can bring a host of issues to communities and it is a neighbourhood priority for officers in Rushcliffe to tackle these problems head-on through proactive work like this.”
Anyone with any information should call 101, quoting incident number 92 of 8 September 2025, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
