Three people have been arrested as part of an operation to crack down on suspected county lines drug dealing in Bath.

Two men, aged 18, and a 17-year-old boy were arrested in Bath on Saturday, December 7, on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (crack cocaine).

Officers attended the address of a vulnerable woman at around 8am the same day, believing her to be a victim of ‘cuckooing’. The suspects have since been released on bail with conditions not to enter the Avon and Somerset area.

In the property, they discovered a quantity of class A drugs, suspected to be crack cocaine, and money as well as a bladed article.

The woman has been provided with safeguarding support and enquiries are ongoing.

Anybody who suspects drugs are being dealt or used in your area are asked to call police on 101 or speak to the Neighbourhood Policing Team about any concerns.
