The three suspects have since been released by police under investigation.
Less than 24 hours after the first raid, officers in Rotherham conducted another warrant in Church Street, Swinton and discovered £32,000 worth of suspected crack cocaine and heroin.
Police carried out the pre-planned activity under the Misuse of Drugs Act which aims to prevent controlled drugs being distributed and enforces a total ban on the possession, supply, manufacture, import and export of controlled substances except as allowed by regulations or by licence from the Secretary of State.
