Cash and drugs seized in Paulsgrove police raids as 2 people are arrested

Today police confirmed the operation yesterday morning in Winchcombe Road, Paulsgrove, was a ‘planned warrant’ worked on by Portsmouth detectives, neighbourhood teams and response officers.

A 25-year-old man from Paulsgrove was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, Hampshire police said.

A police spokesperson said: ‘This is an investigation in response to information provided by members of the local community.

‘This is a direct response to show that drug dealing, drug-related harm, and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated within our force community.

‘By working together with the community, we are keen to show that there will be no hiding place for those who seek to profit from supplying dangerous substances.

‘We encourage members of the community to contact us through local officers, calling 101 or Crimestoppers with information that will help us take action against those causing harm.’
