A local Neighbourhood Policing Team in York have worked with the Organised Crime Unit, York Community Safety Hub and the Operational Support Unit to execute two warrants in York.

The warrants were conducted as part of the clear hold build initiative targeting those who we suspect are complicit in the supply of drugs into the Clifton area of York.

An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving with no license or insurance, possession of criminal property and conspiracy to supply class-A drugs.

A 36-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of possession of criminal property and conspiracy to supply class-A drugs.

They have since been released under investigation and enquiries are continuing.

Sergeant Stuart Henderson of the York Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We thank the community for their ongoing support and are committed to preventing harm that is created by those individuals that are involved in serious and organised crime.

“The activity conducted today is a small part of our ongoing work to 'clear' and address the levels of crime within the Clifton area. “
