Four arrested after drugs raid

FOUR men were arrested at Warrington on suspicion of drugs offences.
They were arrested at an address on Harrier Road, Padgate on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs – heroin and crack cocaine.
The four – a 34-year-old local man and three Merseyside men in their 20s – spent a day helping police with enquiries and were then bailed pending further enquiries.
Drugs, a large amount of cash and a vehicle were seized during the operation by officers from the Northern Area Dedicated Drugs Unit.
Over the past three months officers have executed six warrants, arrested 17 people and seized what is believed to be a large amount of Class A drugs, cash and a vehicle.
