Police with sniffer dogs carried out a drugs swoop on several pubs in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, at the weekend.
The raids, which formed part of Operation Goldfish, were carried out with the co-operation of licensees and organisers of a door registration scheme.
Five people were arrested for public order offences, but there were no drug-related arrests.
