POLICE seized £50,000 worth of heroin and cannabis during raids last week.
Operation Venice - carried out between Wednesday and Friday - also saw £10,000 in cash seized in Langbaurgh, east Cleveland, along with a stolen Porsche Boxster, worth £18,000.
One man was charged with drug-trafficking and cultivating cannabis plants, and will appear before magistrates this week. Two men have been charged with theft of a vehicle. Thirteen other people were arrested and bailed pending further inquiries.
Acting Detective Inspector Paul Tate said: "The results speak for themselves. People who traffic drugs into and around Langbaurgh will not be tolerated and run a high risk of being caught.
