TWO people from Eastleigh have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

The 25-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were arrested at a property in Nutbeam Road as part of a county-wide crackdown seeing officers swoop on properties in Bursledon, Gosport and Fareham.

The pair have been bailed until February 13, the police said today.

Detective Inspector Natasha Nield said: “The supply of illegal drugs will not be tolerated in Hampshire and we seek to prevent anyone from making money from this activity which causes misery to the lives of others within our communities. “The warrants were executed as part of our Operation Fortress campaign which seeks to reduce the harm of drug-related violence.

“Officers are keen to hear from anyone who is concerned about illegal drugs or drug-related crime in their neighbourhood.”

Over £100,000 of suspected class A drugs were seized together with a large amount of cash.
