West Mercia Police arrested a 35-year-old man on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs by officers in Telford.

The man was located in Tipton, with officers believing the man to be involved in the supply of class A drugs into Shropshire. 

During the arrest, officers searched a property in Tipton where they seized four mobile phones, £4,000 in cash and a number of items believed to be stolen goods.

The arrest forms part of a county lines investigation into drugs supply in Telford, with the 35-year-old man remaining in police custody as enquiries continue.

Detective Sergeant Tim Atherton, from West Mercia Police's proactive CID, said: "We continue to work with the local community to protect them from the impact and harm of drugs.

“Today we have successfully arrested a man on suspicion of supplying drugs in Telford, and he remains in custody as we continue our investigation."
