They found four people trying to hide in the loft space of the address.

Two men and a woman arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, handling stolen goods and possession of an offensive weapon have been released on bail.

A third man remains in custody for breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order and on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

Inside the property, officers discovered a large amount of suspected crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis, as well as dozens of stolen phones and electronics, as well as stolen clothing and bicycles.
