A day of action by police in Bath last Wednesday, 18th January, saw three people arrested and a large volume of drugs seized.

The Bath Neighbourhood Policing Team led an operation to disrupt and apprehend suspected drug dealers and prevent drug crime in the city and surrounding communities.

In the early hours of 18th January, four warrants were executed simultaneously at different addresses in Bath.

During the operation, a quantity of class A and class B drugs were seized, suspected to be cocaine and cannabis, along with a number of bladed articles and large sums of cash.

Two men, aged 18 and 24, and a woman, aged 58, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs. They have been released under investigation.

Neighbourhood policing Inspector Lee Humphreys said: “Drugs, and the crimes associated with them, destroy the lives of those who take them and those around them.

“This was a great combined effort from various teams across the force to act on intelligence given to us and sourced by some of our officers.

“The operation has allowed us to seize large amounts of drugs and weapons which could make it onto our streets.

“The Bath Neighbourhood Policing Team is committed to reducing drugs in the city and surrounding areas and bring those responsible to justice.”

If you have information about people you believe are dealing drugs in your area, call 101.
