Warning issued to drug dealers after latest police warrant
Last updated 21st Nov 2025
Police have seized suspected illegal drugs, cash, weapons, and other items following a search in North East Somerset.
The operation, carried out on Wednesday in Midsomer Norton, involved neighbourhood officers and tactical police units. Searches were conducted at a property and an outbuilding at another address.
Police say they acted on information shared by the public, praising the role of local residents in helping secure this latest search warrant as part of an ongoing crackdown on drug-related criminal activity.
Neighbourhood Inspector Stuart King KPM said: "This is the latest in a series of drug warrants we have carried out in the area. These warrants reflect the excellent proactive work being carried out by officers from the neighbourhood policing teams and have resulted in large quantities of drugs being taken off our streets in recent months.
“We will continue to pursue individuals who bring harm and misery to their local communities.
“My message to those involved in such criminal activity is this: now is your opportunity to reflect on your life choices and to stop. We will listen and provide support if you need it.
“However, if you continue to supply drugs that inflict such misery and fear on our communities, we will be coming for you and there will be consequences to your actions."
Items seized during the operation include cash, suspected controlled drugs, mobile phones, a knife, and an air-powered firearm, which has been surrendered and is scheduled for destruction.
An investigation is now underway, and police say they have identified a suspect who will be interviewed regarding suspected drug possession and supply offences.
Inspector King urged residents to continue sharing concerns about drug activities, stressing that their identities will remain safe.
“These drugs warrants will continue across Bath and North East Somerset, and I hope residents are reassured that we are acting on the issues they bring to our attention," he said.
Neighbourhood Superintendent Ronald Lungu emphasised the focused policing strategy, adding: “The localised, targeted approach on those causing the most harm in our communities reflects our commitment to local policing.
"The public across Bath and North East Somerset can expect to see more police activity targeting those involved in organised crime."
