Forcing entry to the property at just after 8am on August 16, officers from Scarborough Police arrested the pair for drug-related offences.

Sgt Emma Collins of Scarborough’s Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We want to send out a message that drugs are not welcome in our community.

"We have been working with our partner agencies within the Community Impact Team and have been hearing what the residents in the locality have been telling us.”

Scarborough’s Community Impact Team delivers a multi-agency, problem solving approach to issues raised in our neighbourhoods.

Sgt Collins added: “I want to thank those in the community who have reported incidents and told us information which has helped to build the bigger picture.

"We cannot always feedback on specific information received, however, from today’s actions, I hope that you will see the impact we can make.”
