254 arrests for Class A drugs made across South Devon in three years
More than £2.2 million worth of drugs have been seized
Police in South Devon say a 'substantial amount of Class A drugs has been seized including heroin and crack cocaine' as part of an ongoing operation.
The latest arrest is a man, from Paignton, who is due in court next month.
Over the past three years £2.2 million worth of drugs have been seized, along with £650k of cash and assets seized from criminals - with 254 arrests made.
The force say 'officers are targeting known offenders who cause problems for local communities' and 'have made several important arrests during the recent weeks and months'.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Pebworth, who works in South Devon Local Policing Area, added: “We have had some important drug seizures and made several arrests recently and we continue to tackle offences in Torbay and South Devon.
"We aim to disrupt criminal activity as much as possible and would like to thank the local communities for their help in rooting out the drug dealers in their towns.
"The information they have passed to us is vital in helping officers make arrests and protecting vulnerable people.”
