Police arrested three people in 24 hours this week on suspicion of dealing drugs in Warwickshire.

In Mill Road, Rugby, at around noon on Wednesday, a 25-year-old man from Rugby was arrested on suspicion of dealing drugs following a search of a VW Golf and the subsequent alleged discovery of drug-related texts on a mobile phone.

A Section 32 search was conducted of the driver’s flat, and both drug paraphernalia and cash consistent with dealing were reportedly found.

The 25-year-old is on police bail at this time.

In the afternoon just after 1.30pm, a 64-year-old man from Coventry was arrested following an alleged sighting of known drug users in an interaction with the occupants of a white van on Brunswick Street, Leamington.

The van was searched, and it is reported that a burner phone, a large quantity of cash, and black capsules containing suspected Class A substances were discovered, along with an alleged needle on the passenger seat.

The 64-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, as well as on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.

He is currently on bail.

A 27-year-old man from Nuneaton was arrested on suspicion of supplying class A controlled substances on Thursday morning just after 6am.

This was following an investigation into mobile phone data which allegedly found a significant amount of information linking to the supply of class A substances.

The 27-year-old is still in police detention at this time.
