Gedling’s specialist Operation Reacher Team joined forces with the Arnold Neighbourhood Policing Team to carry out a significant raid on a suspected drug den located in Honeywood Court, Carlton. Officers executed the operation with a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant.
During the raid, police discovered approximately 50 wraps of suspected crack cocaine and heroin, along with a quantity of cannabis. The seizure also included a knife, multiple mobile phones, scales, deal bags, and various other drug paraphernalia.
Two individuals were arrested in connection with the raid: a 25-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman. Both face charges including possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs. Additionally, they are charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a private place and improper importation of a Class B drug.
Sergeant James Carrington, who leads the Gedling Operation Reacher Team, commented on the success of the operation: “This was another really good result as part of our focused fight against illegal drug supply in our communities. We’re listening to local concerns and are committed to tackling this issue which has devastating impacts.”
He added, “We work closely with partners like UK Border Force to hit drug suppliers hard. Our work won’t stop here – we urge the public to help us by reporting any drug dealing to get offenders off our streets.”
Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspicious activity related to drug dealing by contacting Nottinghamshire Police on 101, reporting anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or dialing 999 in an emergency.
