ABOUT £20,000 in drugs and cash has been seized by police in a continuing crackdown targeting dealers.

Heroin and cannabis with a combined street value of almost £10,000, and cash and property to the same value, were recovered during raids on eight addresses across Middlesbrough.

Two men and two women were arrested and bailed pending forensic inquiries.

A 29-year-old man and three women, aged 26, 39, and 43, who were on police bail from earlier raids, have each been charged with possession of heroin with intent to supply and possession of heroin.
