Three teens arrested in Lewsey Farm after £7k drugs haul seized from house

A warrant was carried out at the address yesterday (Wednesday) and an 18-year-old man and two 17-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

All three have been bailed.

Officers seized a large amount of suspected Class A drugs, which had a street value of at least £7,000 in total.

In a separate incident in Lewsey Farm the day previously, officers seized a large amount of cannabis and suspected cocaine, as well as a homemade taser from a car.

Detective Inspector Mark Pugh said: “This is a great result for our communities and continues a period of sustained activity targeting suspected organised criminal networks in Luton.

“Drugs cause significant harm within our communities, driving much of the serious violence, exploitation and antisocial behaviour which blights our residents."

Anyone with any information about drugs or gang activity is asked to report it via bedfordshire.police.uk/report or to contact police on 101.

All this information is fed into police intelligence systems and can help officers get a better understanding of organised crime.
