Police seize drugs in pub raid

A pub in Leamington was raided on Friday night by police who discovered a quantity of Class A and C drugs.

A 28-year-old man was arrested during the operation at the Pacific Rim pub on Bedford Street. He was later released on bail pending further enquiries.

About £6,000 in cash and other items including four laptop computers, a handheld computer and nine mobile phones were also seized.

Before the raid took place 26 people were asked to leave the pub.

Inspector Bob Musgrove, from Warwickshire Police, said: "We are keen to work with licensees to prevent drug dealing taking place in their premises.

"Where necessary, we are prepared to take strong action including closing licensees' premises while we carry out these operations."
