POLICE have this morning delivered an early Christmas present to suspected drug dealers - when they charged down the front door and executed their latest search warrant.

At the crack of dawn 10 police officers swarmed a first floor flat in Kinderley Road, Wisbech, and discovered several bags of cannabis and a small amount of other drugs, believed to be Class A or Class B. A knife was also seized from a car owned by the tenants.

An 18-year-old man and a 28-year-old man were arrested at the flat.

The teenager has been cautioned for possession of cannabis. The 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs and has been bailed to return to Wisbech Police Station on February 3.

Pc Michelle Bax, who led the operation, said intelligence was gathered through police work and through public tip-offs.

It is the latest in a string of police warrants carried out under the Misuse of Drugs Act after a tip-off. They followed a high-profile appeal from the town's Inspector Robin Sissons, for the public's help in the fight against drug crime.

The flat is owned by Roddons Housing Association, and two staff members attended the raid. It is expected the association will serve a notice of seeking possession.

A spokeswoman said: "Roddons Housing Association is working in partnership with Cambridgeshire Constabulary to resolve issues of anti social behaviour within the Fenland area.

"The inclusion order has been a focus of joint working to enforce tenancy terms and conditions and prevent illegal activities.
