The property, in Harlington Court in Denaby, was searched yesterday (Wednesday, September 25) under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Detective Inspector Steve Smith said despite the fact the operation found no evidence of illegality on this occasion, he hoped the raid would ‘send a message’ that the force remained committed to tackling drug crime.

He said: “We’re continuing to send out a really strong message in the Mexborough, Conisbrough and Denaby areas that organised crime will not be tolerated in these areas.

“If you’re involved, we will identify you and we could be knocking on your door very soon.

“While no criminal offences were identified at this property, we hope it sends out a clear message that our efforts to disrupt such criminality and to keep our communities safe are here to stay.”
