Drugs have been seized after police searched two addresses in Bridport and Lyme Regis.
The warrants were executed as part of the Force's crackdown aimed at targeting drugs gangs operating in the county.
At around 9am on Wednesday (21 September) officers executed the warrants at an address in the South Street area of Bridport and in the Queens Walk area of Lyme Regis.
During searches of both addresses, officers seized suspected class A drugs, as well as suspected stolen property.
A 28-year-old man from Lyme Regis was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug and was issued with a conditional caution.
Police Sergeant Mike Brown, of West Dorset Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “These warrants were carried out following information from the public in relation to reported drug-related activity.
“The action involved joint working by multiple teams across the Force, including the local neighbourhood policing team, the Neighbourhood Enforcement Team (NET) and officers from the Force Support Group (FSG).
“We are committed to tackling issues in the local area that we know cause concern for residents and will continue to relentlessly target those believed to be supplying drugs in our county.”
