Two people arrested on suspicion of drug supply offences in Fordingbridge

Officers attending an address in Fordingbridge have arrested two people on drug supply offences.

It comes after officers were at an address on Waverley Road yesterday (28 July) at around 3.20pm in relation to an unrelated matter.

In seeking to speak with the occupants of the house, an officer witnessed a bag being placed on the top of a roof via an upstairs window – but in the process, a quantity of Class B drugs contained within a smaller bag was displaced next to the officer.

A search of the property was conducted and drug-related paraphernalia – as well as mobile devices – were located and seized as a result.

A 26-year-old man from Fordingbridge was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug.

A 54-year-old woman from Fordingbridge was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug and permitting the use of premises for supply of a Class B drug.

They remain in custody at this time.
