Dorset Police have carried out a day of action to try and disrupt drug dealing activity using mopeds in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area.
Officers worked with Immigration Enforcement on the checks on Friday (5th January).
They executed a warrant at an address in Bournemouth and conducted a further 10 checks at other addresses in the area.
One person was arrested on suspicion of immigration offences, with further individuals sought by officers.
Detective Inspector Darren Moores, of Bournemouth CID, said:
“We have continued to build intelligence and conduct further enquiries in relation to this alleged operation involving the supply of drugs in the area.
“By taking proactive measures such as this day of action, we can disrupt the activities of those reported to be involved and gain further information to assist our investigation moving forward.
“We fully recognise the reports of drug supply and associated activity has on our local communities and we will continue to take positive steps to disrupt the suspected supply chain and make Dorset a hostile place for suspected drug dealers to operate.”
