Two men, aged 20 and 43, have been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs. Both were in custody for questioning on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Police said: “We acted on information about suspected drug dealing linked to the premises in Lichfield<\/a> Street and worked with Trading Standards to carry out a raid.<\/p>\n

“Searches were carried out with the help of a sniffer dog and a range of illegal drugs, including cannabis edibles and cannabis vapes were seized. A number of suspected counterfeit items were also found.”<\/p>\n

West Midlands Police<\/a> said it came as part of “regular action to tackle dealing” in Wolverhampton and across the West Midlands.<\/p>\n

The force said: “We won’t tolerate illegal activities and we’re often involved in warrants alongside Trading Standards, HMRC and other agencies, in response to information we receive about drug sales, anti-social behaviour, and crime and disorder.<\/p>\n

“If there’s evidence of criminal activity, or links to organised crime, then we will always look to secure charges and seek closure orders on premises.<\/p>\n

“We would urge anyone with information to contact us and our partners, as the more evidence and intelligence we receive means we all have a better opportunity of combating any illegal activity.”<\/p>\n

Anyone with information can contact Live Chat on the force’s website, or by calling 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A warrant was executed and two men arrested 19:18, 29 Apr 2026Updated 20:13, 29 Apr 2026 A Wolverhampton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":927271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15,4349],"class_list":["post-927270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-birmingham","tag-birmingham","tag-britain","tag-england","tag-great-britain","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-wolverhampton"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116490394046860108","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=927270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/927270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/927271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=927270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=927270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=927270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
