Police received a report from members of the public who had seen a suspected drug deal in New Street yesterday (Thursday, August 28).
Worcester Proactive CID, supported by Upton Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) and West Mercia’s Operational Patrol Unit (OPU) then attended an address near the location around 2pm.
Police found a large quantity of class A drugs suspected to be crack cocaine and heroin, including a bag full of wraps that had been thrown out of a room above the address on to the ground below.

They have been released on police bail under investigation and enquiries are ongoing.
