Four men have been arrested for drugs offences in Herefordshire.

A warrant was executed by West Mercia Police at the beginning of the month (Friday 1 December) at the Crown and Sceptre, Marketplace in Ross-on-Wye.

Three men - aged 25, 35 and 39 - were arrested on suspicion of the supply of Class A and B drugs.

Another man, aged 43, was arrested on suspicion on possession of Cannabis.

PS Alice Bennett said: “Friday's proactive warrant was based on good intelligence around the illegal supply of drugs from this establishment. I hope this shows we will continue to work hard to keep drugs off our streets and reduce crime that brings misery to the people of our community. I urge anyone with concerns about the supply of drugs to please get in touch, we act on all reports that we receive”.

Following the warrant and arrests the licence of the pub has been suspended pending a review.
