Police carried out the drugs warrant at an address in Joicey Court, Hartlepool, on Friday, August 30, and recovered a large amount of what is believed to be amphetamine, cannabis and illegal prescription drugs.

Three men aged 27, 33 and 66, and a 42-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply controlled drugs.

They have all been released under investigation while inquiries continue.

Police have carried out a number of similar raids across the town in recent months as part of summer’s Operation Phoenix.
