A man was arrested, a quantity of Class A drugs was seized and suspected stolen goods were recovered during an operation in Hemel Hempstead this week.
Officers from the Operational Support Group carried out a warrant at an address in the Grovehill area on Monday morning (21 October), with support from the Neighbourhood Policing Team and Operation Scorpion.
Class A drugs, suspected stolen property, cash and multiple mobile phones were seized.
A 67-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and handling stolen goods.
Enquiries are ongoing.
Sergeant Julian Divney, from the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT), said: “We’re continuing our efforts to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the Grovehill area, and this warrant was the latest in a series of proactive operations targeting those we suspect to be involved.
“Drugs and the criminality often associated with their supply and use has a huge impact on local communities and I hope this serves as a warning that we’re making good on our promise to relentlessly pursue those involved in criminal activity.
