Two arrested following Gainsborough drugs warrant

Our officers have taken action against alleged drugs offenders in Gainsborough, arresting two people this morning (8 December).

A warrant was executed in the Uphills area of the town at 9.30am and led to a woman, aged 32, and a man, aged 45, being arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug.

Following a search of the premises a retractable baton was found, resulting in the man also being arrested on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon.

Both people remain in police custody.
