Four people have been arrested after police executed drug warrants in Harlow and London.

The raids were carried out at two addresses in Brockles Mead and Little Grove Field in Harlow, and three in London yesterday (Monday, March 8).

Three people were arrested in Harlow on suspicion of being concerned in supplying a controlled drug.

A 32-year-old man and two women aged 34 and 37 remain in police custody.

The force is appealing for residents with information about drug dealing to come forward.
