Cannabis was found inside the other addresses.

Sergeant Mike Brown, of Sherborne Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “The activity from this day serves as a strong reminder to anyone involved in suspected drug-related activity that we will take action.

“Cracking down on the reported supply of drugs in our area will always be a priority and something we are working to tackle all year round.

“One of our main aims of the day was to disrupt any suspected illegal activity and ensure that drugs have no place in Sherborne.

“Our enquiries will continue as we investigate any potential offences linked to these warrants.

“Information from the community is invaluable in helping us to tackle offending – we would continue to urge any members of the public with information relating to suspected drug related activity to please report it to us.”
