Police say five people have been arrested after officers conducted a warrant in Grimsby today (Wednesday 16 November), as part of Operation Galaxy.
A misuse of drugs act warrant was carried out at a property on Stanley Street.
Officers uncovered an amount of what is believed to be Class A and Class B drugs, along with a quantity of cash.
Three men, aged 19, 36, and 47, and two women, aged 47 and 58, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned with the supply of Class A drugs. They all remain in custody at this time.
Chief Inspector Gary Foster said: “Our message is very clear to those involved in criminality: your actions will not be tolerated. We will find you and ensure you are held accountable for your crimes.
“Working with the community, we have acted upon the invaluable intelligence provided and targeted people believed to be involved in the supply of drugs.
“I would like to thank the local community for their support and want to reassure them that we do act on intelligence passed to us. We know that the vast majority of local residents support and welcome this action.
