Two men have been arrested for supplying class A drugs in Gloucester.

Officers raided a property in the Barton area yesterday evening - and found more than £5,000 worth of cocaine along with cannabis, drug equipment and counterfeit money.

The two men, a 22-year-old from Birmingham and a 31-year-old from Manchester, were arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A and Class B drugs.

They remain in police custody.

Sergeant Tom Francis, of Gloucester Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "Thanks to the hard work of our officers, we have been able to take drugs off our streets.

"Drug dealers prey on vulnerable people, bringing with them misery and pain, and we will do everything in our power to stop them from profiting from this vile trade.

"If anyone has any concerns about drugs and dealing in their area, I would encourage them to let us know so that we can take the appropriate action."
