The warrants were executed as part of an ongoing investigation into the "Callum" county line.

After the items were seized and the arrests were made, officers sent text to all users of the line, informing them that police had taken control of it and providing them with details for drug support.

Detective Constable Jamie Carruthers from the West Sussex community investigation team said: “Once again this demonstrates our commitment to protecting people from the harm that drugs would otherwise cause.

“We will continue to work with other police departments as well as external support agencies to support the supply of drugs and signpost vulnerable users to support.”
