Police team seize khat worth £7,000 in house raid in Sheffield
Khat worth £7,000 was seized in a police raid in Sheffield.
Officers found 15kg of the substance, which was made illegal in 2014.
It is chewed and produces effects similar to mild amphetamine.
The drug was discovered in a property on Bressingham Road, Burngreave, yesterday morning.
Two males were arrested - one on suspicion of possession of khat with intent to supply, and the other on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant.
Anyone with information on those involved in drug dealing should call 101.
