A total of 11 people have been arrested after around £100,000 in cash and suspected Class A and Class B drugs, were seized during drugs raids.

As part of an ongoing operation to target drug supply, officers from Staffordshire Police, supported by colleagues from the National Crime Agency (NCA), successfully executed warrants at various addresses in areas including Tamworth, Burntwood, and Walsall, this morning (Thursday 23 June).

Officers seized around £100,000 in cash, and suspected Class A and Class B drugs, with a combined value of approximately £60,000. 

They also made 11 arrests: 

>  A 24-year-old man from Burntwood was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of Class B.

> A 28-year-old man from Walsall was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of Class B.

> A 29-year-old man from Tamworth was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A and possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class B. 

> A 29-year-old man from Tamworth was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the offer to supply a Class B drug and cultivating a Class B controlled drug. 

> A 31-year-old man from Tamworth was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. 

> A 31-year-old man from Tamworth was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class B.

> A 34-year-old man from Tamworth was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug of Class B.

> A 58-year-old woman from Tamworth was arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

They all remain in police custody at this time.

Detective Inspector Tim Boulton, from the force’s Major and Organised Crime Unit, said: “The raids we carried out today are part of an extensive, on-going operation, set up to tackle drug supply in Tamworth. 

“The combined value of cash and drugs officers recovered as part of this operation provides some insight into the scale of organised crime we've been able to disrupt. 

“I hope the results we have already seen serves as a warning to those involved in this type of crime.

“Information and intelligence from our communities is key and, if you report your concerns, then we will take action.”

Inspector Stuart Coleman, of Tamworth Neighbourhood Policing Team, added: “We are committed to tackling the organised supply of illegal drugs and protecting the most vulnerable people in our communities from harm.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to stress to the public that any information - no matter how big or small you may think it may be - really can prove invaluable. 

“Intelligence we receive can shape our operations, and we often rely on this information received from members of the community.

"I would encourage anyone with any information or concern to contact the police, whether in person, by telephone on 101 or online at: Report | Staffordshire Police

“You can also anonymously contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
