Class A drugs and cash have been seized by police in Totnes as part of a new operation to tackle the growing problem surrounding drug supply.

As part of 'Operation Applerose', one man was issued with a notice banning him from the town centre for a period of time after an incident on Friday night.

Totnes Police also executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act and a quantity of class A drugs and cash were seized.

It comes just days after the police in the town intercepted a woman who had a large quantity of drugs that were bound for the streets of Totnes.

The woman was searched by local officers in Westonfields, and a quantity of heroin, cannabis resin and other illicit pills were found.

Police say that these drugs were bound for the streets of the town and a woman from Totnes is now assisting them with their enquiries.

The police are also warning people that any person behaving in a manner that has caused harassment, alarm and distress in Totnes town centre this weekend will be directed to leave and not return within (a maximum of) 48 hours.

Should that individual return to the area, he/she is liable to be arrested .
