THREE people have been arrested following a drugs raid in Basingstoke.
A search warrant was carried out at a home in Silvester Close, Oakridge, at 4.15pm on Thursday, March 7, after a tip-off.
Officers on the raid, which included Chief Inspector Steve Wallace, district commander for Basingstoke and Deane, found what is believed to be crack cocaine and heroin at the address.
A 33-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman, both from Basingstoke, and a 19-year-old man from Dagenham, Essex, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug with intent to supply.
All three remain in police custody.
Anyone who is concerned about drug-dealing and other criminal activity is urged to contact the police on 101, or 999 if a crime is in progress.
