Officers have been carrying out targeted enforcement across the region – resulting in seizures of Class A drugs worth approximately £36,500 and Class B drugs valued at around £56,700 being taken off the streets.
In addition to the drugs seizures – worth in excess of £93,000 – sums of cash totalling approximately £25,500 have also been seized.
