Man arrested following warrant in Warrington

A man has been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences in Warrington following the execution of a warrant in the town.

At 9.25am on Tuesday 17 December, officers from Warrington North Beat Management executed a warrant at an address in Valiant Close, Warrington.

This came following intelligence relating to potential drug dealing in the area.

Upon entry, officers seized a quantity of cannabis, and a 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis.

He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.

Inspector Lee Hillyard said:

“This warrant was executed after information was received in relation to potential drug dealing in the area.

“We hope this highlights how seriously we take offences of this nature and reassures the community that we are doing all we can to put a stop to drug-related criminality.

“If you have any information about illegal drug activity or any other criminal activity taking place, get in touch. You will be listened to, and we will investigate the matter.”
