Officers conduct warrants in Winchester district and arrest two for drugs supply

Two people have been arrested after officers executed two warrants in Curdridge and Swanmore this morning (15 May).

Officers attended addresses on Botley Road, Curdridge and Forest Road, Swanmore at around 08.25am.

They carried out a search and located a quantity of suspected Class A drugs.

A 57-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman, both from Curdridge, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug. They remain in custody at this time.

In total, 60 officers from local policing and investigative teams worked together to coordinate the arrests and searches.

Detective Chief Inspector Dal Andrews said: “Like many towns and villages in the UK, we know that drug related activity goes on in our communities and we want to ensure that residents know what we are doing to tackle the issue.

“Drug supply is often linked to a variety of other crimes, such as theft, burglary, and violence, which is why it is important that we take action.

“Without the information we receive from the community, we are unable to take on this work and reduce the issue. Your calls enable us to know where we need to put our resources to best serve you.

“If you have any concerns in your local community please contact us on 101 or via our website, or by the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
