An operation has been held in the Millfield area of Peterborough in response to concerns around organised criminal activity.
The joint operation between His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and police saw nine shops visited in the Lincoln Road area of Millfield and London Road yesterday (Wednesday).
Class A drugs were found at one of the shops in Lincoln Road resulting in a 44-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs. He has since been released from custody under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.
Sergeant Sarah Phillips, from the eastern Peterborough Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “The operation was held as a joint response to tackle organised criminality in the Millfield area of Peterborough.
“We will continue to work with partner agencies to disrupt criminal activity taking place and posing a threat to our communities.”
