Two men have been arrested after a large amount of drugs and cash were found in a property in Chesterfield.

Officers from the Newbold Safer Neighbourhood Team went to the home in Church Walk, New Whittington.

When they arrived, they found two men inside the property, both of whom were wanted for other offences.

The property was searched and a large amount of drugs, scales, dealer bags and cash were discovered.

The two men, aged 21 and 24, were arrested for possession with intent to supply drugs and have been bailed pending further enquiries.

Sergeant Matthew Adams, from Newbold Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “This is another example of my officers cracking down on the supply of illegal drugs in Chesterfield.

“The community can be certain that we’re doing all we can to rid the area of this problem and the crimes that are caused as a result.

“If you have any information about drugs being stored, grown or dealt in Chesterfield, then you can contact us, in confidence, at any time.”
