“I’m pleased that we have secured this arrest and I hope it reassures the local community that we are responding to their concerns and remain steadfast in tackling the scourge of illegal drugs.

“Finally, I would appeal to members of the public to keep reporting suspicious behaviour to us or anyone suspected of drug dealing. Community intelligence is vital to our work and the information provided really helps us build a picture of the issues affecting a specific area.”
