Suspected dealer arrested after disturbance report

A suspected drug dealer was arrested after police attended a report of domestic disturbance.

Officers attended an address in Southwell Road East, Rainworth, at 8.13pm on Sunday and soon caught sight of a man running from the property.

A suspect was detained a short time later and a container was recovered nearby containing what is believed to be crack cocaine.

A set of weighing scales and a quantity of cash were also recovered.

A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply and was later released on police bail.

PC Adam Munnery, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“We attended this incident after receiving reports of a disturbance but soon found something we weren’t expecting.

“As a result, we’ve been able to take harmful drugs out of circulation and detain a criminal suspect.

“As our investigation into this matter continues, we are keen to hear from anyone who has relevant information that may assist our investigation.”

Anyone with additional information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 647 of 23 September 2024.
