A 28-year-old man and a woman aged 38 were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
The man was also arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a private place after officers also discovered an extendable baton.

"Your information could be a vital missing piece of the jigsaw which allows officers to take positive action."
