Detective Chief Inspector Richard Hammond, who is leading the operation, said: “We are well aware of the negative impact that drug production and dealing has on our local communities.

“Often this type of criminality has links to organised crime, and is a major factor in incidents of violent crime.

“I hope these results, along with those of last week, serve as a warning to those people involved in this type of criminality.”
