On Thursday morning, police officers conducted raids at two houses on Irstead Road with the assistance of the Neighbourhood Policing Team, Operation Moonshot City, and the Community Support Unit. At one property, they found £3,920 worth of cannabis and suspected Class A drugs, as well as drug accessories such as mobile phones and scales. A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs and was taken to Aylsham Police Station for questioning. At the other address, officers seized two knives and additional drug paraphernalia.
The raids were part of a coordinated effort by multiple law enforcement units to crack down on drug-related activity in the area. The discovery of a significant amount of drugs and related paraphernalia at one of the properties suggests that this was a major operation. The arrest of the man in his 30s on suspicion of drug possession with intent to supply indicates a potential link to drug trafficking or distribution. The presence of knives at the second address raises concerns about potential violence or criminal activity related to the drug trade.
The actions taken by the Neighbourhood Policing Team, Operation Moonshot City, and the Community Support Unit demonstrate a commitment to addressing drug-related issues within the community. By conducting these targeted raids, law enforcement officials were able to remove a significant amount of drugs from circulation and make an arrest in connection with drug distribution. The seizure of two knives also helps to improve public safety by removing potential weapons from the streets. This coordinated effort sends a clear message that drug-related activity will not be tolerated in the area and that law enforcement will take decisive action to address it.
