One man's been arrested as police carried out a search warrant at a house in Blandford.

Dorset officers attended yesterday (Tuesday 5th July), acting on local intelligence.

They seized items like cash and mobile phones, as well as drugs themselves.

A man was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply.

Dorset Police have posted about the raid on their social media:

The warrant came as police forces across the South West, including Dorset, carried out a joint operation with the aim of disrupting drug supply into the region.

It's the second phase of Operation Viper, as it's called, which saw nearly 200 arrests back in March.
