Man and woman arrested after class A drugs seized

Two people have been arrested after officers seized class A drugs, cash and mobile phones during a stop-and-search in Lichfield.

We stopped a woman and a man on a car park off Eastern Avenue, at 11.52am on Friday (31 May). Officers searched a black Vauxhall Astra and found heroin, cash and mobile phones.

A 46-year-old man, from the Uttoxeter area, and a 48-year-old woman, from the Burntwood area, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug.

The man has been released on police bail whilst the woman has been released under investigation.

The activity follows our ongoing commitment to tackling serious and organised crime and protecting those who are at risk of exploitation by criminals.

Through Operation Target, we continue to proactively target the groups responsible for these crimes, including county lines, drug distribution, illegal firearms and sexual exploitation.
