Two woman and a man have been arrested after officers raided a Ludlow home and found heroin, cocaine and cash.
West Mercia Police said officers from their Safer Neighbourhood Team, along with the Local Policing Priorities Team (LPPT) and Task Force, carried out the warrant on a property at Rocks Green Crescent in the town.
Inside, officers discovered heroin thought to be worth over £140,000, cocaine and a quantity of cash.
Two women, aged 46 and 20, and a 46-year-old man were arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and they remain in police custody.
Safer Neighbourhood Team Inspector for South Shropshire, Damien Kelly said: “The warrant this morning was only made possible by information provided by members of the public.
“I hope this result gives reassurance to our communities that if you give us information about people you think are dealing drugs, we will listen and act upon your information.
“While you may not always see the results straight away, rest assured that we are always working in the background and at the right time we will act and find those involved in illegal activity.
“I would also like to commend the local policing team who have acted on these reports and have successfully taken a large number of drugs off our streets.
“The warrant this morning is part of Op Conyay which is a focus on tackling drug supply and dealing in South Shropshire.”
