Further arrests following discovery of drugs and weapons

Two further arrests have been made following the discovery of class A and class B drugs, cash and weapons in Hednesford earlier this month.

Yesterday (Monday 30 October), a 46-year-old man, from Cannock, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug and being in possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.

Another man, aged 25, and from Wolverhampton, was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug. He was also arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent. This relates to an incident on Market Street, Hednesford, on Sunday 8 October.

Both men have been released under investigation.

It comes after we searched a man inside a van on Market Street, Hednesford, on Friday 13 October. We found class A and class B drugs alongside two mobile phones.

Officers then searched an address, finding more drugs and a quantity of cash. A further address was searched where we discovered more drugs and weapons.
