Four people have been arrested after drugs and weapons were seized following dawn raids on three properties in an East Hampshire town.

East Hampshire Police confirmed on Friday that officers from the Priority Crime and Neighbourhood recently searched two addresses and a further business on Chalet Hill and Pine View.

Class B drugs, suspected Class A drugs, cannabis vapes and drug-related paraphernalia were found and seized after simultaneous warrants were executed around 5.45am on Monday, October 5.

An air weapon, lock knife and suspected illegal cigarettes were also located as part of an ongoing bid to tackle drug-related offending in the district and county.

Police have confirmed a 46-year-old male and a 28-year-old male from Bordon were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug – cannabis – following the raids.

A further 59-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man from Bordon were also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class B drug – cannabis resin – along with acquiring, using or possessing criminal property. All four suspects have been bailed with conditions until January 5 while investigations continue.

PC Ben Godwin, the Dedicated Neighbourhood Officer for Bordon and Whitehill, said: “This offending will not be tolerated in East Hampshire and anyone committing drug related crime in our communities will be pursued and dealt with robustly.

“Local people providing information is crucial to helping us understand what is happening in our communities so that we can take action.

PC Godwin added: “If you have concerns about suspicious behaviour or suspected drug activity in your area, please report this to us.”
