They forced entry to the property after obtaining a search warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Sergeant Tom Hollands said: “Drug use and supply is a key issue for our team and we know it’s something people living in Arbourthorne want us to deal with.

“We’ve been working extremely hard over the last few months to take robust action and this has resulted in six warrants being carried out in the area, with four arrests being made on suspicion of a range of offences.

“We have also been proactively targeting locations where suspected drug dealing is taking place, this includes stop searches and vehicle checks.

“It’s really important people talk to us about their concerns about drug supply; if you report it, we can do more about it. For example, if you have suspicions about cannabis being grown in a property near you, it’s important you contact us.

“If you have information about the supply of Class A drugs happening in your area, we want to hear from you. The more information we have, the easier it is for us to take action.”

Anyone with information about those involved in the supply of drugs in Sheffield communities should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Criemstoppers, anonymously on 0800 555111.
