Thousands of pounds of drugs seized in Coventry raids
West Midlands Police have called their work 'excellent'.
Officers from West Midlands Police in Coventry have conducted county line drug searches and seized thousands of pounds worth of drugs.
Officers from the county lines team carried out a warrant in Foleshill Road on Wednesday morning (26 July), arresting a man and seizing class A drugs.
Acting on intelligence, the team carried out the warrant, finding a large amount of cocaine and heroin hidden behind a boarded-up fireplace.
A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying or offering to supply Class A drugs. He was bailed while enquiries continue.
A 39-year-old man was also arrested before being handed over to Immigration Officers.
In addition to the drug seized, officers also seized cash and scales, plus a number of phones.
On the same day, officers on patrol in Strathmore Road spotted a car being driven at an unusually slow pace.
When it stopped, they detained the driver and searched the car, finding 10kg of cannabis in vacuum bags ready for sale.
This amount has an approximate street value of around £40,000.
Following this, a 28-year-old man was charged with possession with intent to supply and driving while disqualified.
He will appear at Warwick Crown Court for trial on 23 August.
