The Maldon Local Policing Team have been busy so far this week, arresting several men in relation to drug crime in three separate incidents.

Yesterday (June 10), officers arrested a male on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

A significant quantity of suspected Class A substances and a substantial amount of cash were recovered.

The male was also arrested on suspicion of drug driving and has been taken into custody for further questioning.

In a separate incident, officers from the Maldon Local Policing Team arrested another male found to be in possession of a knife and suspected drugs.

The arrests follow another unrelated incident on Saturday, where a vehicle on interest was stopped with officers discovering suspected drugs and cash.

Sergeant Dalby of the Maldon Town Team said:

"These arrests are the result of targeted intelligence-led policing.

"We remain committed to disrupting criminal activity and making Maldon a safer place for everyone."

The team say they will continue to work in partnership with the public and local agencies to address crime and build stronger, safer neighbourhoods.
