Police on patrol in Ann Street in Brighton have arrested a man after they smelled what they believed to be cannabis outside a property.
Following a search, they found a significant amount of Class A drugs at the address and arrested an 18-year-old man from Bromley at the scene, for 'being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs, Class A'.
Officers were also concerned that the address was being cuckooed. This is a term used when vulnerable people are exploited, their houses are taken over and used as a place from which to deal drugs. It is often a technique used by county lines gangs. The man has now been released on unconditional bail whilst investigations continue.
If you have any concerns over a neighbour or someone you know who you think is being cuckooed, please call us. You can do this by calling 999 if you feel there is an immediate threat, 101 if not an emergency or you can also report online using our website.
