Drug warrants carried out in Bishop’s Waltham

Officers from Winchester’s Neighbourhood Policing Team have carried out three warrants in Bishop’s Waltham today (Thursday 25 July).

The activity was carried out following concerns raised about drug-related activity and associated anti-social behaviour.

Searches were made of two houses off Winchester Road, and a further one in Greens Close.

Small amounts of a suspected Class A substance and a Class B substance were found.

No arrests were made. Enquiries are ongoing.

Sergeant Stuart Gilmour said: “We are committed to tackling drug supply and associated activity.

“Operations like the one today can only come about thanks to information from the public.

“If you have concerns about drug-related activity where you live, don’t assume that someone else will report it. Even the smallest bit of information can help us build a better picture of what is going on.

“Anyone with information can call us on 101. Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information can be left anonymously.”
