Drugs and cash worth thousands seized in Crawley
Police raided a property of a suspected organised crime gang operating in Sussex.
Drugs and cash worth tens of thousands of pounds have been seized from a suspected organised crime gang operating in Sussex.
Police raided a property near Crawley where large amounts of cocaine and cannabis were found on Saturday, April 8.
Two men were caught attempting to escape through the back but were stopped by officers and three-year-old German Shepherd, PD Tsar.
A third man attempted to flush drugs down the toilet and another was also found pretending to sleep.
West Sussex local policing Superintendent Nicholas Dias said: “The officers involved in this operation have shown great teamwork to prevent drugs suspects operating in Crawley.
“We are determined to disrupt the supply of drugs and the associated criminality which cause so much harm in our communities.
“The value of the drugs and cash found shows the scale of the suspected crime group, so we are pleased to have achieved such a positive result.
“We continue to encourage the public to report suspected drug-dealing and anti-social behaviour to us on the Sussex Police website.”
Four men have been questioned and released on bail.
