Shortly before 8am on Thursday, police executed a drugs warrant at an address in The Quadrangle.

After gaining entry to the property, officers seized a number of items, including class B drugs and offensive weapons.

A 40-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man are awaiting an interview in connection with the incident.

The warrant was led by officers from the Eastleigh Priority Crime Team and supported by officers from Hedge End Neighbourhood Policing Team (North), Eastleigh Neighbourhood Policing Team (Central) and Criminal Investigation Department.

Police shared a video of the warrant on the force’s Facebook page.

Eastleigh District Commander, Chief Inspector Matt Paling said the force will continue to “relentlessly pursue and deal with those who are causing harm in our town”.

He said: “Drug-related activity will not be tolerated in our communities.

“Warrants, such as this one, are just one of the ways we can tackle the problem.

“We will continue to relentlessly pursue and deal with those who are causing harm in our town.

“But of course, as we often say, we can only do what we do with the support and help of the community itself.

“The information we receive from the public is vital to us being able to carry out warrants and tackle illegal activity across Eastleigh.

“Please continue to let us know of drug-related activity in the area in which you live, so we can allocate our resources to effectively and robustly deal with it.”
