MORE than £12,000 worth of amphetamine and cannabis has been recovered following a police raid.

A 55-year-old man was arrested at a property on Stephens Way, South Bank, near Middlesbrough, on Friday, on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs. He has been released under investigation.

Officers searching the address found more than 2kg of suspected amphetamine and a large amount of cannabis.

Inspector Darren Bainbridge, from Redcar and Cleveland Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “I would like to thank the local community for coming forward with their concerns.

“Information from members of the public is vital in removing illegal drugs from the streets of Cleveland and helping to identify those suspected of being involved in drug dealing.

“I would encourage anyone with information on drugs activity in their local area to contact Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.”
