A man was arrested following the execution of a warrant at a residential address in Northampton, where officers located and seized large blocks of suspected amphetamine and Class A drugs during a search.
Officers from the Northampton Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a Section 8 warrant at the address in Junction Road, Kingsley, following concerns about suspected drug-related activity.
A 45-year-old man from Northampton was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the supply of controlled drugs, and he has since been released under investigation.
The warrant forms part of the Neighbourhood Policing Team’s continued efforts to tackle drug-related crime and address issues that have a negative impact on local communities.
PC Charles Franklin, from the Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This arrest demonstrates our commitment to taking positive action against those suspected of being involved in drug-related criminality.

“Community intelligence remains vital in helping us identify those involved in the supply of drugs, and we would encourage anyone with concerns about drug dealing or other criminal activity to continue reporting it to us.”
