This followed police intelligence suggesting that the properties were linked to the storage and sale of cocaine and cannabis across Nottingham.

Four suspects were arrested when officers investigating a drug supply conspiracy raided six properties.

Simultaneous warrants were executed at addresses in Arnold, Basford, and Aspley last Friday (31 January).

Three buildings on Rolleston Drive, Arnold, as well as homes on Western Boulevard, Basford, Hawthorn Crescent, Arnold, and Woodrow Avenue, Aspley, were all visited by officers.

This followed police intelligence suggesting that the properties were linked to the storage and sale of cocaine and cannabis across Nottingham.

Quantities of cocaine, cannabis, and cash were seized by the policing teams executing the warrants, while four suspects were detained in the process.

Officers from the Gedling South Neighbourhood Policing Team, County Priority Tasking Team, and Tactical Support Group (TSG) were all involved in the operation.

Four men – aged 22, 35, 40, and 41 – were subsequently arrested on suspicion of conspiring to supply Class A drugs.

The 22-year-old was additionally arrested on suspicion of conspiring to supply Class B drugs, possessing criminal property, and possessing cannabis.

Police further arrested the 41-year-old man on suspicion of possessing Class A and Class B drugs with intent to supply and possessing criminal property, while the 40-year-old suspect was additionally arrested for possessing Class A drugs.

Detective Inspector Andrea Brown, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“This was a great example of our policing teams taking positive action after receiving reports of potential drug activity in our force area.

“Six simultaneous warrants were executed in direct response to this intelligence, which should show the public how much of a priority it is for us to keep drugs out of our communities.

“As a direct result of this enforcement, we were able to seize quantities of cocaine, cannabis, and cash that we suspect was raised through criminal activity.

“Four suspects were also arrested, so this proved to be a good job all round, demonstrating the importance of working with the community to target crime locally.”
