Update: Four men in early twenties arrested in Class A student house drug bust

They were arrested on suspicion of the importation of Class A drugs


Four men were arrested in yesterday's drug bust on a student house in Crookesmoor.

Police have released a statement saying the raid was carried out on the property on Spring View Road in relation to the possible possession of Class A drugs.

Four men, two aged 22 and two aged 21, were arrested on suspicion of the importation of Class A drugs and being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug.

One student, who watched the raid unfold, told The Tab yesterday: "Me and my friend were just stood in the kitchen watching the police break down their back door. It looked like a well-organised drugs bust."
