Section 23 Drugs Warrant Leads to Arrest and Seizure of Weapons

Section 23 Drugs Warrant Leads to Arrest and Seizure of Weapons

Officers recently executed a Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at a residential address within the ward. Upon entering the property, officers discovered a quantity of suspected stolen items. As a result, a male occupant was arrested and has since been charged with handling stolen goods and theft.

During a thorough search of the address, officers also recovered several weapons, including knives and adapted offensive weapons, found openly in the living room area. The presence of these items posed a clear risk to public safety and further emphasised the importance of proactive enforcement activity.

This successful operation reflects our continuing commitment to:

We will continue to act on intelligence from the community and work with partners to target individuals involved in crime. Your information plays a vital role—if you have concerns about drug activity, suspicious behaviour, or weapons in your area, please report it to us.
