One of the men – aged 30 – is also being held on suspicion of the cultivation of cannabis.
As part of the warrants, officers seized a substantial amount of class A drugs – including crack cocaine and a quarter kilo of heroin – cash, and a cannabis farm.
Further evidence was seized as part of detectives’ ongoing enquiries into the investigation – codenamed Headland, which began in March 2020 after reports of class A drug dealings in the district.

Today's action is the result of a thorough investigation into the supply of class A drugs - a crime which can ruin peoples' lives. These investigations rely on intelligence from police, partners and members of the public. I would like to use this opportunity to thank those who have assisted us so far but also appeal to anyone else with information which may be of assistance to pass it on.
