Police seized several bags of suspected cocaine and cannabis from a home in Watford.

A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, class B drugs and driving without insurance.

Acting on intelligence, officers stopped a vehicle in Upton Road just before 8pm on Tuesday, May 30, the police revealed today (June 7).

They found several bags of suspected cocaine and hundred pounds of cash. Officers later raided an address in the same road, where more bags of class A drugs and cash were found along with class B drug cannabis.  

The man has since been released on police bail while enquiries continue.

Chief inspector for Watford Andy Wiseman said: “Drugs and associated criminality can have a hugely detrimental impact on the local community, and we are committed to doing all we can to tackle this in Watford.

“We get a lot of our intelligence regarding drugs thanks to vigilant members of the public reporting suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods, such as the cultivation of drugs or drug dealing.”

A Herts Police spokesperson said 80 deal bags and £635 cash were seized.
