Box of bullets and drugs seized after warrant executed in Bulwell

DRUGS and weapons were seized as part of a police operation in a Nottingham neighbourhood.

Officers from Operation Reacher and the City North Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted a warrant on Thursday afternoon at an address on John Wright Close in Bulwell.

Quantities of cannabis as well as a box of 30 Caliber 308 ceramic tipped bullets were located and seized.

Police said that when the shell casings are added, and these bullets can be fired, they are designed to peel in to an X shape tip when they enter flesh, and cause maximum damage.

A 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis and possessing prohibited ammunition.

He was not present when the warrant was executed, but officers were waiting when he returned to the address in his vehicle.

He was also arrested for driving without a licence and insurance, and for providing a positive roadside drug wipe for cannabis.

Police said the man has been charged with motoring offences, including failing to provide, after he refused to provide blood samples for analysis back at the station.

His vehicle was seized and he will attend court in mid-october.

A 19-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis.

A second 49-year-old man was interviewed under caution on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis supply and possessing prohibited ammunition.

All three have been released under investigation regarding the drug and ammunition offences, pending forensic examination of exhibits, and electronic devices.
