Drugs, cash and illegal weapons have been seized as officers raided three houses.
The coordinated police raids saw officers from the Bassetlaw neighbourhood policing teams kick down the doors of three addresses in the district acting on intelligence of criminal behaviour taking place.
Raiding addresses in Gladstone Street and Cresswell Street, in Worksop, shortly after 3.30pm yesterday (29 September) officers alongside tactical support officers and the police dog swiftly arrested four people at the different addresses.
Suspected Class A and B drugs were recovered from multiple addresses, along with offensive weapons, cash, and mobile phones.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs and possession of an offensive weapon.
A 54-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A, possession of a firearm without a certificate.
A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and a further 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failure to appear.
All four remain in custody as enquiries continue.
Inspector Hayley Crawford, District Commander for Bassetlaw, said: “These coordinated intelligence-led raids are a result of weeks of hard work by my team and intelligence officer.
“Drugs, weapons and crime destroy people’s lives and make the lives of those in our communities a misery which is why we will always listen to any resident’s concerns and maintain the pressure on local suspects until they are arrested and hauled up in front of the courts.
“This was some great work by my officers and the teams from across the force and I want to thank them all for their efforts.
“If you are involved in the trade of illegal drugs and use of offensive weapons there’s every chance you’ll be paid a visit next, criminality has no place in our society and we will carry on cracking down on those who take part.”
Anyone with any information on criminal activity taking place is asked to call 101, in an emergency 999, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
