Two people have been arrested after an estimated £40,000 of Class-A drugs were recovered at a Telford home.

A warrant was carried out at a property on Anson Drive in Leegomery on Thursday afternoon (27th Feb).

They found crack cocaine worth an estimated £40,000.

Officers also uncovered £10,000 in cash and an estimated £5,000 of cannabis.

A man, aged 38, and a woman, aged 49, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class-A and Class-B drugs.

The pair have been released on bail whilst police continue to investigate.

Detective Sergeant Tim Atherton, from Telford’s Proactive CID, said: “The two arrests made yesterday was a great result for Telford's CID following good intelligence work by officers.

“The people we arrested are suspected of being involved in supplying drugs in Telford, which we know is a blight on the communities we are here to protect and serve.

“We will not tolerate drug dealing in our town and will always act on information given to us to help locate and arrest those suspected of being involved and disrupt their criminal enterprises," they said.
