Drug Raids In County Durham

Drug raids have been held across County Durham this morning.

Four men are in custody and a substantial amount of suspected class A drugs have been seized.

Durham Police say a 24 year old man, 19 year old and 25 year old have been arrested on suspicion of intent to supply class A drugs.

A 33 year old man has also been arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class A drug.

Metro Radio stopped at three properties with Durham Police.

Inspector Keith Wardle is from the force he told us “In the first property a male has been arrested and there has been a quantity of white powder seized there. He’s also been arrested on a section 18 assault which has happened in Northumbria’s area so he’s under arrest for assault and for possession with intent to supply.”

“It’s what people are telling us they’re seeing, coming and going from the address. So we never know what we’re going to find until we actually get through the door and search the premises. We usually find something, but it depends on the quality of the information.”
