Three people have been arrested and a 'large volume' of drugs have been seized after what Avon and Somerset Police are calling a 'day of action' in Bath last week.
Bath's Neighbourhood Policing Team led the operation to disrupt and apprehend suspected drug dealers and to prevent drug crime in the city and surrounding communities - and in the early hours of Wednesday morning (January 18), they carried out four warrants at different addresses in Bath at the same time.
During the operation, 'a quantity' of class A and class B drugs were seized (which the force says were suspected cocaine and cannabis), along with a number of bladed articles and large sums of cash.
Neighbourhood policing Inspector Lee Humphreys said: "Drugs, and the crimes associated with them, destroy the lives of those who take them and those around them.
"This was a great combined effort from various teams across the force to act on intelligence given to us and sourced by some of our officers.
"The operation has allowed us to seize large amounts of drugs and weapons which could make it onto our streets.
"The Bath Neighbourhood Policing Team is committed to reducing drugs in the city and surrounding areas and bring those responsible to justice."
Two men, aged 18 and 24, and a woman, aged 58, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
They have been released under investigation.
