Mansfield man recalled to prison after police drugs raid

Police carried out the early morning raid at a two-bedroom terrace house on George Street on July 26, just before 6am, in the hunt for a suspect wanted in connection with kidnap, false imprisonment and assault causing grievous bodily harm.

During the raid, officers found large amounts of suspected heroin and cocaine, as well as a large volume of cash, which has been seized.

A 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

Insp Kylie Davies, Nottinghamshire Police’s Mansfield district commander, said: “While pursuing lines of inquiry with a nasty assault, we unearthed further evidence of criminal activity.

“This was a great result by officers taking a considerable amount of suspected heroin and cocaine off the streets. Drugs like heroin destroy communities. We will continue to target anyone who thinks they can run these operations in Mansfield.”
