Police found plenty of evidence of drug dealing to justify their raid.
Cash recovered after drugs raid in March
Cannabis found at March house during police raid
Although no one was at home at the North Street, March, house police were soon able to ‘sniff out’ some drugs thanks to PD Walton, an experienced police dog, they took with them.
Police had obtained a warrant to search, and their haul included scales, ‘deal bags’, the £1,400 in cash and multiple large bags of cannabis.
The evidence will now form part of a possible prosecution.
PD Walton was brought in to help police with their inquiries into drugs find
Police revealed that inquiries led the team to a second address in Ellingham Avenue, March.
“A 36-year-old man was arrested after officers located further cannabis, as well as the plants growing throughout the house,” said a police statement.
“A 25-year-old man was arrested the following day in connection with the finds.”
Knock, knock, who’s there? Well, we’re coming in because we have a warrant
Both men have been bailed to return to a police station next month “while we carry out further enquiries”.
Cambridgeshire police said tackling drug dealing is a priority for the force.
