Three men have been arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs in Bristol.

The trio - all from Knowle - were detained during what police say was a targeted operation last Thursday (10/09).

Two of the men are in their 20's while the other is in his 40's.

Officers say a substantial amount of cash and drugs were seized, while the men have since been released under investigation.

Sgt Dan Ashfield said: “This successful operation by the local neighbourhood policing team to remove harmful drugs from Bristol’s streets was made possible thanks to vital intelligence provided by the local community.

“Every report we receive gives us a clearer picture of what is happening in our towns and cities and enables us to take action against drug criminality.

"We'd continue to urge people to contact us if they witness such issues in their communities.”
