People were arrested in Esther Varney Place and Stodman Mews in Newark on drug offences.




Eight people have been arrested today after Nottinghamshire Police executed four warrants across the county in an effort to dismantle drugs supply lines.

It is part of Operation VOW, an investigation into County Lines operating from Nottingham and supplying Newark with cocaine and heroin.

The warrants carried out in Newark include properties in Esther Varney Place and Stodman Mews, and seven people have been arrested for conspiracy to supply Class A and money laundering offences. One person has also been arrested for shop theft offences.

A number of police teams from across the force have been involved in the operation, including the force's Tactical Support Group, Neighbourhood Support Unit, Neighbourhood Policing Teams and police dog Jonty.

Inspector Heather Sutton said: “These warrants are the result of months of investigation that has been under way in Newark and surrounding rural communities.

"We are focussing on disrupting the Newark drugs market, to improve the quality of life for those who live here and reduce acquisitive crime. To those who find themselves in the difficult situation of being a drug user, you should find getting drugs in Newark increasingly difficult.

"The investigation will now continue with those who have been arrested and we would like to thank the public who have shared intelligence and information with us. We couldn’t have done this without you."
