Detective Sergeant Andy Pond, from Telford’s Proactive CID team, said: “This work ensures we take offenders supplying drugs off our streets. 

"These drug operations cause real harm to our communities and often rely on the exploitation of young people and the vulnerable.

“Our efforts to bring those responsible to justice continue daily, and I urge anyone with information about this kind of activity to come forward so we can take action.”
