A man has been arrested and a quantity of illegal drugs seized, after a warrant in Winsford.

At around 8am yesterday, Monday 12 January, officers from Northwich Local Policing Unit, executed a warrant at an address on Wharton Bridge, in relation to the supply of illegal drugs.

A 24-year-old man was arrested at the address on suspicion of possession with intent to supply of class B drugs and being concerned in the supply of class B drugs (cannabis).

A quantity of cannabis edibles and cannabis syrup was also recovered at the address, along with cash and mobile phones.

Inspector Paul Heatley, of Northwich Local Policing Unit, said: “The warrant is part of our ongoing efforts to tack the supply of illegal drugs in the Winsford area and I hope it provides reassurance to local residents.

“Drugs have a hugely detrimental impact on our communities, causing widespread misery. As such, cutting off supplies of illegal drugs and removing dealers from our streets is of paramount importance.

“As part of our efforts to bring those responsible to justice, we also need support from the local community.

“I would appeal to anyone who has any information about illegal drug activity or any other criminal activity taking place in their communities to contact us on 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
