Arrests made as warrants executed in Birmingham

Early morning warrants which were executed at five addresses in Birmingham this morning (Thursday) led to the arrests of four men.

Officers from Gloucestershire Constabulary's Force Crime Operations team executed the warrants after gathering intelligence about possible county lines drug dealing involving a group of men.

Four men all from Birmingham and aged 19, 20, 24 and 26 were arrested on suspicion of the supply of Class A drugs after an amount of drugs and money were seized.

A number of items of high value clothing and an Audi A4 S-line were also seized as part of the Proceeds of Crime Act.

The value of drugs over the conspiracy period is believed to be over £100,000.
