They were detained on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply and money laundering by police armed with a search warrant. They have now been released on bail pending further inquiries.

The raid also uncovered about 300 pills which have been sent for analysis, a small quantity of cannabis and £1,000 in cash.

Sgt Lee Fletcher said: "One of our main aims is to disrupt the most prolific criminals who are responsible for the majority of crime in the area.

"There are clear links between Class A drugs and crimes such as burglary and car crime and we hope this latest action demonstrates our commitment to targeting these related issues.

"It is important that the public see that the police take their concerns seriously and will act upon any information that we receive whenever possible.

"We would like to encourage the local community to keep their local neighbourhood policing teams informed of issues affecting their local community so that we can take timely action against those individuals causing harm to the community."

* Anyone with any information on drug dealing should contact their local neighbourhood policing team via 0845 606 0606 or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously and in confidence, on 0800 555111.
