SEVENTEEN people were helping police with their inquiries yesterday after a drugs raid on an address in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Men and women and aged between 17 and 40, were arrested in the late-night swoop on a property in the town's Mayfield Grove.

They were still being questioned last night at police stations in Harrogate, Skipton and Northallerton in connection with the possession and supply of heroin and cocaine.

Harrogate police were assisted in the raid by officers from the Drugs Squad, the District Crime Unit and Task Force.

None of those arrested have yet been charged.
