Operation Alliance leads to arrest and seizure of cocaine and cash
Two men have been charged following a police raid in Bowness-on-Windermere as part of Cumbria Police's Operation Alliance, a dedicated response to serious and organised crime.
The operation saw officers from the Westmorland and Furness Community Serious and Organised Crime team execute a warrant on Bank Road on 7th October.
Searches of the property led to the discovery of Class A and Class B drugs, as well as an undisclosed amount of cash.
Further investigation of a vehicle linked to the residence uncovered cocaine valued at £33,000 and more than £11,000 in cash.
The two arrested men include a 29-year-old charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and Proceeds of Crime Act offences, while the 39-year-old faces charges of possession with intent to supply both Class A and Class B drugs, along with Proceeds of Crime Act offences.
Both suspects are set to appear in Barrow Magistrates' Court today.
A spokesperson for the Community Serious and Organised Crime team commented on the significant impact serious crime has on communities and praised the positive outcome of the operation.
