A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with millions of pounds-worth of suspected Class A drugs found in Notts.

The pair, aged 48 and 35 respectively, were detained during a warrant on Friday August 25 at a house in Doncaster.

They remain in custody for questioning about the find, discovered at an industrial unit near Bilsthorpe on Monday August 14.

Speaking at the time of the discovery, Neighbourhood Inspector Neil Bellamy said: “It is very unusual to find such a large quantity of what we believe to be class A drugs.

“We are still in the early stages of the investigation but clearly it’s a good result to have intercepted drugs on this scale.

“There are significant details about this investigation that we can’t talk about at the moment and I would like to thank the community for their understanding and most of all, for their assistance in the matter.

“I want to send a message of reassurance to the communities in the vicinity of this discovery.

“While you may see an increased level of police activity in the coming days, this will in part be due to the work being carried out to investigate the circumstances.

“There will also be patrols put in place to engage with communities and conduct house to house inquiries.

“We are not in the belief that this matter has direct links to this very close-knit and community spirited part of Nottinghamshire other than the physical discovery of these materials.”
