Cannabis, weapons and an e-scooter were seized during a trio of police raids in Macclesfield.

On Tuesday, June 16, officers from Macclesfield Neighbourhood Policing Unit descended on Pennine Court to carry out three drug warrants.

More than 20 officers were supported by PCSOs, Peaks and Plains Housing Association, the local authority anti-social behaviour coordinators and designing out crime officers.

A meat cleaver was among the items seized from the properties, with officers remaining in the area for the remainder of the day to offer advice to the residents of the flats.

Inspector Richard Haque said: "Residents were pleased to see us taking action and making our presence felt in the community.

"Our designing out crime officers were able to take this opportunity to give them some valuable crime prevention advice, and the supporting agencies were able to assist with any further advice residents felt they needed.

"This was a fantastic example of joint working to tackle the issues that matter to you.

"If you see anti-social behaviour or drug dealing in your community, call us and we will take action to help keep you safe."

Following the warrants, a woman is to be interviewed under caution at a later date in relation to possession of cannabis and possession of weapons.

Meanwhile, a man was provided a warning of an intended Community Protection Notice for anti-social behaviour by the local authority.
