Two arrested after raid carried out at Stourport home

Two men have been arrested after police carried out a warrant in Stourport.

During the raid a stolen car was recovered, and class A drugs, weapons and cash were all seized.

Inside the house, police found between 50 to 60 wraps of suspected class A drugs, an estimated £3,000 in cash, an imitation firearm and a bladed article, which were all seized as evidence.

A search of the attached garage uncovered the black Ford Fiesta which was on cloned plates and was towed away as part of the investigation.

Two men were arrested – one, aged 19, on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and theft of motor vehicle and another, aged 18, was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug and theft of motor vehicle. They are currently in police custody helping with enquiries.

PC Sam Maher, of Stourport SNT said: “Today’s warrant was a successful one, with two arrested, a stolen car recovered, as well as class A drugs, cash and weapons seized.

“We were acting on intelligence around the stolen car and suspicious activity at the address and we hope this shows we will always act where appropriate.

“We will not tolerate criminal activity in West Mercia and will continue to work around the clock to protect the communities we are here to serve.”
