Sneinton: Drugs raid leads police to burglary suspects

Two burglary suspects have been arrested after power tools were discovered during a drugs raid.

Padlocks were broken and tools taken during a break-in in Stephens Road, Sneinton, Nottingham, between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tools were then found during a separate raid in Trent Road a few hours later.

A 17-year-old boy and a 59-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of burglary and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

The pair have been released on bail while further investigations are carried out.

Sgt Richard Hunter said: "This was a great bit of work from officers who not only seized a significant quantity of drugs, but also recovered important items which we believe were stolen in a burglary that had been reported to us shortly before this warrant."
