Nine people have been arrested in Matlock on suspicion of drug offences.
Officers carried out a warrant in Overdale, Matlock on Wednesday, 4 December, 2019, after receiving information about alleged drug activity in the area.
Four women, two aged 18 and a 46 and 22-year-old, were arrested along with five men aged, 18, 22, 23, 24 and 44, all on suspicion of a number of drugs related offences.
At the scene a large amount of suspected class A and B drugs were seized, as well as an amount of cash and suspected stolen property. Designer clothing believed purchased through criminal proceeds was also seized.
