Drug Arrests in Bridlington

Drugs, Cash, Cars and a machete were seized during simultaneous raids in Bridlington and Bradford yesterday.

Two men and two women have been arrested after officers from the Humberside Police Organised Crime Team, alongside colleagues from West Yorkshire Police, and the Regional Organised Crime Unit, carried out two simultaneous Misuse of Drugs warrants at addresses in Bradford and Bridlington yesterday (Thursday 30 January).

Upon entering the properties, a large amount of class A drugs worth an estimated street value of £100,000, alongside cash, approximately £60,000 worth of assets including cars, and a machete, were seized from the addresses.

A 40-year-old man and 39-year-old woman were located at The Crescent in Bridlington, and a 29-year-old man and 19-year-old woman were located at Richardson Street in Bradford. All four were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and remain in police custody within their respective force areas at this time.

Detective Inspector Matt Grantham from the Kinetic Northbank Organised Crime Group team said:

“This result is testament to the hard work and partnership approach to tackling organised crime in our area through initiatives like Clear Hold Build, and support from the National County Lines Coordination Centre (NCLCC).

“The community impact this type of offending has, is the reason we will continue to do everything we can to disrupt criminal networks, removing them, and the drugs they supply and distribute, from our streets.”
