TWO MEN have been arrested on suspicion of smuggling drugs into the UK after warrants were executed across Ringwood.
Shortly before 7am on May 2, two Section 8 (PACE) warrants were carried out at addresses across Ringwood.
The first warrant was completed on Hampton Drive.
A 19-year-old man from Ringwood was arrested on suspicion of attempt to possess with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class B – cannabis.
The man was also detained on suspicion of improper importation of goods – a controlled drug of Class B – into the United Kingdom.
Mobile phones, cannabis, and drug paraphernalia were also seized during the raid.
The second warrant took place on Wessex Estate where a 20-year-old man from Ringwood was arrested in Gillingham, Dorset.
He was detained on suspicion of improper importation of goods – a controlled drug of Class B – into the United Kingdom.
Mobile phones were also seized at the address.
Reflecting on the warrants, New Forest Detective Inspector Tim Sivarajah said: “This is yet another example of our continued efforts to relentlessly pursue criminals causing the most harm to our communities.
“Please continue to contact us on 101 or the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary website to report any incidents you feel warrant police attention.”
