A series of drug raids in Ellesmere Port led to four arrests.

Cheshire Task Force Officers arrested two men, aged 34 and 36, and two women, aged 30 and 45, on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

Officers were issued warrants to raid properties on Robinson Road, Phillips Lane, Parklands, St Caterings House and Meadow Lane yesterday (September 28) as part of Operation Impact.

A quantity of class A drugs and nine cars were also seized during the raids.

Detective inspector Sharon Case from the Cheshire Police taskforce said: “The corrosive effect that drug abuse and associated criminality has on our communities is well known, and we are committed to tackling the problem and targeting those involved.

“Today’s warrants reinforce our commitment to targeting those people that undermine our communities and bring misery to residents through their involvement in organised crime and illegal drugs.

“This sort of behaviour can have a major impact on local communities.

“It is an issue the force takes extremely seriously and we devote all the resources we can to tracing those responsible and disrupting their behaviour.

“Information from members of the public is vital in the fight against drug related crime.”

Anyone with any information in relation to drug use and supply in their community are urged to contact Cheshire Police on 101.

Alternatively information can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
