Authorities in crackdown on Wem drug menace

Authorities are stamping out on the drugs menace in Wem after heroin and cannabis were discovered during raids at homes in the town, police said today.

Warrants have been carried out at a number of houses in recent weeks and police have warned more could follow.

A man was arrested on suspicion of possessing heroin at an address in Trentham Road recently. He was given police bail pending further inquiries.

A 19-year-old man received a police caution following Thursday’s warrant in The Grove where a small amount of cannabis bush was seized.

A search was also carried out at a house in Aston Street but police said no drugs were found.
