Arrests after major York drug supply investigation

Four people were arrested and significant quantities of class A drugs seized in York.

Following a major investigation into the supply of illegal drugs in the city, specialist teams of North Yorkshire Police officers executed a series of warrants at addresses in Clifton and Clifton Moor yesterday morning.

As a result, officers seized a significant quantity of suspected heroin and cocaine, as well as a large amount of cash, and high-value clothing and jewellery suspected to be the proceeds of crime.

At one address, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 30s were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply a class A drug and money laundering offences.

At another, a man and a woman in their 20s were arrested on suspicion of money laundering offences.

They have been released under investigation while extensive forensic and other police enquiries continue.
