Three people have been arrested in Birmingham after police seized hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of cash, gold and drugs. West Midlands Police, working alongside the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), carried out warrants this morning (April 30) as part of an investigation into drug dealing and the supply of medicines.
Raids on Alum Rock Road and Yardley Wood Road
Warrants were executed at addresses on Alum Rock Road and Yardley Wood Road, where three individuals aged 35, 41, and 46 were taken into custody. They were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply controlled drugs of Class A, B and C, conspiracy to sell prescription-only medicines, selling, supplying or offering to sell an unauthorised medicinal product, and money laundering.
During searches at the properties, officers recovered over £175,000 in cash, approximately £150,000 worth of gold bars, and more than half a million doses of Class A, B, and C drugs. All three suspects remain in police custody for questioning.
Police Statement
PC Jamie Wilson, from the Birmingham Priority Crime Team, said: "Our partnership working alongside the MHRA has produced significant results with large seizures and three arrests." The investigation continues.
