Police carry out drugs raid at the Pelham Arms in Chichester Road, Portsmouth
The investigation into the pub continues
A Portsmouth pub was the subject of a raid by police after they were told about drugs on the premises.
The Pelham Arms in Chichester Road, North End, was busted on Thursday after police carried out a warrant.
A 19-year-old man from Bishop’s Waltham was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A, and has been bailed with conditions until 20 November whilst enquiries continue.
Two other people have been issued community resolution orders for personal possession of controlled drugs.
The police say their licensing team will be speaking to the licence holder, and that the investigation continues.
Portsmouth Chief Inspector Neal Harvey said: “We are dedicated to acting on the concerns of the public and targeting offenders who put our communities at risk. Anyone committing drug related crime in our city will be pursued and dealt with robustly, as this offending will not be tolerated in Portsmouth”.
