Officers have made an arrest after seizing drugs and a knife whilst executing drugs warrants in Cheltenham on Wednesday morning, July 6.

The warrants, which were part of Operation Scorpion, were executed with officers from Neighbourhood Policing, the Vanguard team and Dogs Unit after intelligence had been gathered about suspected drug dealing.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of the supply of class A drugs after officers discovered drugs at an address in St Marks. He remains in custody at this time.

As well as this, officers found a large knife, a phone which is believed to be used to sell drugs, cash and high value clothing and trainers.

An address in the Moors area was also searched and officers seized a mobile phone, watch and a bicycle which was suspected to have been stolen.
