Heroin and crack cocaine seized in drug raid

Heroin, crack cocaine and cash was seized when police raided a house in Wolverhampton today.

Officers stormed the home in Whitmore Reans following intelligence that drugs may have been dealt from the address.

A 17-year-old boy and a 49-year-old woman who were in the house at the time were arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.

A team of around 14 officers swooped on the house in Cheltenham Close at around 7.40am today.

A police dog was brought in to search the property. Police said a bag of crack cocaine and 17 wraps of heroin were found at the house.

Another substance, believed to be drugs, was recovered but officers were unable to confirm exactly what it was.

Neighbours looked out of their windows as the police drugs dog spent several minutes sniffing around the overgrown garden at the back of the house.

Insp Jen Richards, who is in charge of policing the south west of the city, said: "The community had concerns around suspicious and anti-social behaviour with vehicles coming and going for short periods of time and we've acted upon the community's intelligence today.

"I'm extremely pleased with the result today and it goes to show that the community is providing us with positive information."
