Police raids have resulted in three arrests being made.

Officers in Macclesfield conducted a warrant at a property on Cedar Grove at 6.30am on Friday, April 4.

Inside, they discovered a quantity of cannabis, cocaine and drug and drug paraphernalia.

A 23-year-old man and a 49-year-old man found at the property were subsequently arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs (cocaine and cannabis).

The pair have since been released under investigation.

Officers then carried out a second strike, at an address on Manor Park in Knutsford at around 7.12am.

Here, officers located a 23-year-old man, who was also arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

He has since been released under investigation.

Chief Inspector for Macclesfield, Zoe Bowden, said: "Our officers take an evidence-based proactive approach, working around the clock to remove harmful and illegal drugs, as well as those intent on supplying them, from Macclesfield's streets.

"We cannot execute warrants such as these without vital information from members of the local community, so I would encourage anyone with any concerns about drug supply or cultivation in their area to contact their local beat teams or come to us directly via the website or on 101."
