POLICE raids targeting suspected drug suppliers on Teesside have resulted in more arrests.
Twelve arrests were made within minutes of the launch of a new phase of Operation Warrior across Stockton on Thursday, but that figure has now risen to 23, of whom eight were taken before Teesside Magistrates yesterday charged with serious drugs offences.
More than 200 officers raided 32 premises, seized a prohibited stun gun, £45,000 in cash and about £2,000 of controlled drugs from 11 of the addresses.
Two of those arrested were cautioned for being in possession of controlled drugs while 13 were released on bail pending forensic and further inquiries.
