POLICE have arrested two men and two women in York as they continue to crack down on drug supply in the area.

Officers from North Yorkshire Police’s proactive drugs team, Operation Expedite and the Operational Support Unit carried out the warrant at a property in the Tang Hall area earlier today (May 21).

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: "All four were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and remain in police custody for questioning as the investigation continues.

"Officers also seized a quantity of drugs and several mobile phones."

Members of the public are urged to report any suspicious activity about drug dealing in their neighbourhood to the police on 101, or  Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Always call 999 in an emergency.

Police are also urging people to report any signs that someone they know is being exploited by criminals and forced to work for them. This can include what is known as ‘cuckooing’, where drug dealers take over the home of a vulnerable person – who are often drug users themselves – and use it to store and sell drugs.
