They executed a warrant at an address in Bournemouth and conducted a further 10 overt checks at other addresses in the area. One person was arrested on suspicion of immigration offences, with further individuals sought by officers.
Detective Inspector Darren Moores, of Bournemouth CID, said: “We have continued to build intelligence and conduct further enquiries in relation to this alleged operation involving the supply of drugs in the area.
“By taking proactive measures such as this day of action, we can disrupt the activities of those reported to be involved and gain further information to assist our investigation moving forward.
