The Scunthorpe Town Neighbourhood Policing Team, alongside officers from the Kinetic Intervention Team, carried out the warrant at an address on the Market Hill Estate on Tuesday, 10 February 2026.
Representatives from ONGO and North Lincolnshire Council’s Safer Neighbourhoods Team were also present as officers forced entry to the property. Inside, three men and a woman were located.
A quantity of substances believed to be Class A drugs was seized from the address. All four individuals were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
They have since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
The Section 8 Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) warrant was authorised following information provided by local residents and partner agencies. Police say the operation highlights the vital role the community plays in tackling drug-related activity.
Officers acknowledged that while residents may not always see immediate action, the information shared helps build a wider intelligence picture, allowing teams to gather evidence and take enforcement action such as executing warrants.
Police are encouraging anyone with concerns or information about drug activity in their area to speak with local officers while they are on patrol or contact them via the non-emergency number 101.
