“During proactive crime prevention patrols, covert and uniformed officers observed two known males acting suspiciously. After the males went out of view, officers acted swiftly believing some sort of drug activity was taking place.
“The males were immediately detained and thousands of pounds worth, of what is believed to be crack cocaine, was discovered in hundreds of individual wraps ready to sell along with a large amount ready to be prepared."
The force added: “We will endeavour to continue the fight against drugs in our community as we see its impact on a daily basis. Not only in the linked criminal behaviour such as thefts, burglaries and violent incidents, but also the affects on the individual users and their families.
