Drugs seized in police raids
7:47pm Thursday 4th September 2008
Drugs and cash were seized in two dawn raids.
Three men were arrested in the operation in Bevendean, Brighton, this morning.
At Bodiam Avenue search teams found £4,000 and what police described as a “substantial" amount of cannabis in a semi-detached house.
One man in his 50s and one in his 20s were arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis with intent to supply.
Cannabis was also found at nearby Hornby Place where a third man was arrested on suspicion of possession of the drug.
The raids were carried out before 8am by Sussex Police’s Brighton and Hove local support team.
Inspector Paul Betts, who led the operation, said: “One of our day to day jobs is tackling drug dealing at all levels in Brighton and Hove.
“Raids like today’s should send a very clear message to anybody concerned in drug-dealing in the city.”
Anyone with information about drug-dealing should call Sussex Police on 0845 6070999 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
