A quarter of a million pounds worth of cocaine has been seized during a police raid in Doncaster.

Officers executed a drugs warrant on Jubilee Road, in the Wheatley area, on Wednesday (September 8).

Investigations to find those responsible for the stash are ongoing.

Detective Inspector Nina Jackson, of South Yorkshire Police said:

“The searches at this property led to a significant amount of Class A drugs being seized and investigations are continuing to locate those responsible.

“I want the public to know we are committed to confronting organised crime wherever we find it across Doncaster.

"We know that drug supply is often catalyst for other serious and violent crime, which has a huge negative impact on our communities.

“I’d like to reassure people that we are constantly acting on the intelligence we receive and are focused and committed to making Doncaster a better place for all.”
