Two arrested in Selby following incident on Sunday evening

Police have arrested two men on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs following an incident in Selby.

At around 5.22pm on Sunday 29 October, police received a call reporting that a man had been seen entering a property in Selby with a package that they believed contained firearms.

Due to the information concerning firearms, which the police take very seriously, a large number of officers were deployed to the area including authorised firearms officers and support from the National Police Air Service.

However, following a search of the property, no firearms were found and officers were satisfied that the incident was not as first reported. They did however, find suspected class A drugs and drugs paraphernalia that they seized from the property.

Two men, one aged 25 and one aged 28 were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

They have been released but remain under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.
