Four arrests after police carry out drug raids

Four people have been arrested for drug offences following police raids on four properties in East Yorkshire.

Controlled drugs, weapons and £3,000 in cash were seized from homes in Beverley on Monday, Humberside Police said.

A 17-year-old boy, a 21-year-old woman and two men aged 20 and 64 were arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs.

The raids were carried out by the force's Kinetic Intervention Team, which targets organised crime.

Det Sgt Jack Downs said: “Days like these allow us to intensify our disruption and have a large impact in a shorter space of time.

“It’s important we’re taking dangerous substances out of our communities, not only because these are illegal, but as drug dealing often comes with violence, disorder and anti-social behaviour."
