Officers also found £3,000 in cash and some herbal cannabis.

Six people - five men and one woman - were arrested at the flat and another on neighbouring Exeter Drive.

Two suspects jumped 30ft out of a window in the Exeter Place flat to evade arrest when officers stormed the property.

Anyone with information on those involved in the supply of drugs in Sheffield should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
