Police seize £33,000 worth of drugs and stolen goods in Northampton raid
Search warrant brings major haul for Proactive Team officers
Plain-clothed police tweeted photos of an astonishing £33,000 worth of drugs and suspected stolen goods seized during a raid in Northampton last week.
Officers from the Force Proactive Team went to a property in Cloutsham Street, near Kettering Road, on Thursday last week (February 27) armed with a search warrant and went away with 149 bags stuffed with exhibits.
A spokesman for Northamptonshire Police confirmed a small amount of drugs were taken along with the items believed to have been stolen which included cosmetics, toiletries and honey.
A day earlier, the same team also arrested a 17-year-old found with large quantties of crack cocaine and heroin after a routine stop and search in Northampton. The teenager is now being safeguarded after being identified as a possible target for county lines dealers.
