Man cautioned following Church Stretton drug warrant
A 41-year-old man has been cautioned by police, who carried out a drugs warrant at his home in Church Stretton.
Three officers attended the address in Sandford Avenue at about 9am today and recovered cannabis and heroin with a combined street value of about £130.
The man was arrested for possession of Class A and Class B drugs and interviewed at Shrewsbury Police Station, where he admitted the offence and was given a police caution.
Sergeant Keith Steele, who led this morning’s warrant, said concerns about drug-related activity at the address had been received from various sources, including Crimestoppers.
“Crimestoppers is completely anonymous and information about any crime, including suspected drug activity, can be left without anyone ever knowing your name,” he said.
“Police always take any information about suspected illegal activity seriously and, although our response is not always immediately highly visible, we always take action to deal with concerns.
“The more information we get from communities about suspicious activity, the more evidence we have to build a case for actions such as warrants from the courts.”
Anyone who might suspect illegal activity such as drug-related matters is taking place in their community is urged to contact police on 0300 333 3000 or the anonymous Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111, where a reward is sometimes offered.
