Drugs and cash seized in Herefordshire warrant
Large quantity of illegal drugs found in Ewyas Harold
Two men have been arrested after police executed a drugs warrant at a property in Herefordshire on 30th December.
Police officers from Hereford CID acted on intelligence leading them to a home in the Ewyas Harold area. They discovered a concealed area reportedly designed for the production of illegal substances, including suspected 'magic mushroom' type products, cannabis, and cannabis edibles.
A large quantity of cannabis was seized from the property, along with cannabis hash, suspected magic mushrooms, and cash.
A 46-year-old man was arrested at the house on suspicion of being involved in the production of a controlled drug.
Separately, a 29-year-old man was arrested in Whitestone, Hereford, on suspicion of being involved in drug supply.
Both individuals have since been released on bail pending further investigations.
Detective Constable Simon Caine from Hereford Proactive CID explained that the raid was a result of gathered intelligence around illegal drug manufacturing at the address in Ewyas Harold.
“Yesterday we executed a drugs warrant at an address in Ewyas Harold following intelligence around the suspected manufacturing of illegal drugs there.
“We arrested one man at the property and another at a separate address following the raid in relation to drug production and supply.
“A large quantity of cannabis and cannabis products as well as suspected magic mushrooms and cash were seized, and our investigation is continuing.
“The warrant has without doubt disrupted a sizeable drugs operation, the likes of which have a harmful impact on the communities we are here to protect and serve – in this case illegal drugs that were likely aimed at a younger age group.
“The public are our eyes and ears on the ground and we would encourage anyone who suspects there may be drug dealing in their neighbourhood to report it to us via our website. Always call 999 in an emergency.”
