More drugs taken off the streets after incidents in Kettering, Rushden and Wellingborough

Drugs seized, arrests made, weapons off our streets - all in a day's work for the Kettering proactive police team.

Friday (June 12) was a busy day for the team of plain clothes officers with three jobs leading to an arrest, charge or community resolution.

In the early hours they were in Wellingborough where they seized 18 wraps of suspected heroin and 62 wraps of suspected cocaine in Mill Road.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply and released under investigation, pending further enquiries.

At 9.30am they executed a warrant at an address in Franciscan Close, Rushden, and a small amount of cannabis was found.

A police spokesman said: "Due to the low value of the cannabis, the minimal history of the suspect and no sign of supply, a community resolution for possession of class B drugs was handed out."

And they ended their day at about 3.45pm in Highfield Crescent, Kettering, when a man was found to be in possession of a quantity of cannabis and a lock knife.

Spencer James Cassidy, 25, of no fixed address, has been charged with possession of cannabis and possession of a bladed article in connection with the incident.

Anyone with information about drugs offences should call police on 101.
