A quantity of heroin and ‘crack’ cocaine was found in a property on King Street on Friday.

"By taking suspected county lines offenders off our streets we are able to safeguard those that might get involved with criminal activity before it is too late.

"Preventing the sale and supply of controlled drugs is a key focus and we rely on information from the public to help us continue disrupt such crimes."
