"All three properties contained drugs paraphernalia & signs of recent drugs use and/or dealing.

"A quantity of Class-B drugs were also recovered, which will now be destroyed.

As a result of this operation, those drugs will not be finding their way onto the local streets & this sends a clear message: if you are involved in the supply of illegal drugs, you can expect a knock at your door (or in this case, a circular saw)."
