Arrests made after warrant executed in Herefordshire

Two men have been arrested after a warrant was executed at a campsite in Herefordshire over concerns of drug dealing.

A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs as they carried out a search of the caravans and outbuildings on the site.

A second man in his 20s was also arrested on suspicion of threats to cause criminal damage and being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

A third person – a woman in her 20s - was arrested for failing to appear at court on a separate matter.

Detective Sergeant Jim Moore of Hereford Proactive CID said: “This morning, Herefordshire officers executed a warrant at a campsite near Bringsty following intelligence gathered around suspected dealing of class A and B drugs into the Hereford and Leominster areas.

“A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs – cocaine and is currently helping us with our investigation.

“A quantity of cannabis was seized from one of the properties and mobile phone searches conducted - further enquiries will be made.

“We hope today’s actions shows we will always act on concerns around the supply of drugs in our county and act where appropriate to disrupt and shut down drug dealing networks where possible.”
