Two arrested following Shrewsbury drugs warrant

Officers have arrested two people following a warrant at an address in Shrewsbury this morning (Tuesday 25 August).

A man, aged 37, and a woman aged 38, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs following a warrant at an address on Cross Hill.

When officers from Shrewsbury's Town Centre Team (TCT) entered the properties they discovered suspected class A and class B drugs, as well as illicit prescription medication, steroids and weight loss injections.

Both people remain in police custody as enquiries continue.

Sergeant Tom Atkinson, from Shrewsbury's TCT, said: "This morning's warrant demonstrates our continued commitment to tackling the supply of illegal drugs and disrupting organised crime in our communities.

"The discovery of suspected class A and B drugs, illicit prescription medication, steroids and weight loss injections shows the importance of this ongoing work and the proactive action our officers take to protect the public. We will continue to target those involved in criminal activity and pursue every available line of enquiry. 

"Information from the public plays a vital role in helping us identify and disrupt organised crime, and I would encourage anyone with concerns about drug-related activity or other criminality in their area to report it to us so we can take appropriate action."
