Man arrested after drugs haul
Drugs with a street value estimated by police to be �40,000 have been seized in Devon.

Police officers, accompanied by a dog handler, searched an address at Avenue Road in Torquay on Thursday afternoon.

They found quantities of cannabis resin and amphetamines, as well as smaller amounts of ecstasy and herbal cannabis.

A 34-year-old man was arrested and has been bailed to return to the police in September.

Meanwhile, police officers in Plymouth have carried out two more drugs warrants in Stonehouse and Devonport as part of Operation Ravelin.

They arrested two men on suspicion of supplying a class A drug.

Since the start of the anti-drugs operation, 18 people have been remanded to prison from Plymouth magistrates, and three others are due to appear at a later date.
