Four men have been arrested and bailed until November after suspected class A drugs were found at a house in Watford.

Hertfordshire Police officers from their Operational Support Group and Watford’s Operation Scorpion team executed a warrant on Monday (August 14) in Wilmington Close at 8am, finding 18 wraps of suspected crack cocaine and 13 wraps of suspected heroin.

A statement from Hertfordshire Police said:

"A 65 year old man from Watford was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug (class A). He has been released on conditional bail until 9 November.

"A 42 year old man of no fixed address was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug (class A). He has been released on conditional bail until 9 November.

"A 14 year old male from Edgware, London, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs. He has been released on conditional bail until 9 November.

"A 17 year old male, also from Edgware, London, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs. He has been released on conditional bail until 10 November."

Enquiries are also continuing after a separate drugs warrant was executed in Humberstone Close in Watford, where large quantities of cash, cannabis and drug equipment was also found.

Watford’s Chief Inspector Andy Wiseman said: “These operations are an excellent example of the vital disruption work that’s always happening under the radar to tackle drug supply in our town.

“We are serious about stopping drugs from getting on to the streets of Watford and we will do everything we can to stop it, from warrants and patrols to working with partner agencies.

“Be it class A, B or C, drugs often go hand in hand with other criminality and anti-social behaviour, which have the potential to ruin the lives of others.

“Remember: if you have suspicions about drug dealing in your area, report it to us so we can build up a picture of intelligence and take action.”
