Three people have been arrested after drugs, cash and a weapon were found in Selby.

Police raided two properties in the Fostergate area at 9am.

Three men - aged 25, 36 and 45 were arrested and remain in police custody.

At the first address a search of the property produced what is believed to be a quantity of cannabis. Officers also recovered a quantity of cash and suspected stolen property.

At the second address a quantity of what is believed to be cannabis was found as well as an offensive weapon.

PC Carl Barnes, of the Selby Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This is another successful result for the team as we see further drugs taken away from properties in the town.

“The public should be reassured that we will act on all information and we continue to ask them to be our eyes and ears. I urge people to look out for the signs and please report it if you suspect it is happening. No matter how small the piece of information, it all helps us to piece together a wider picture to inform our policing activity.”
