Suspected drugs seized after police burst into Gosport flat
Police have raided a flat in Gosport which is synonymous with drug use and violence.
Officers, including horse riders from the mounted unit, were deployed to
Blake Court in South Street, Gosport, yesterday morning.
Local units conducted a drugs warrant at a flat, with re-elected police and crime commissioner Donna Jones present.
Gosport Police reported on Facebook that officers seized “a number of boxes and bags of suspected Class C drugs”.
They added: “Whilst there, officers also arrested a 37-year-old woman outside the flat on suspicion of breaching court bail conditions. She remains in custody at this time.”
A flat in the apartment block was shut by police in late April, as residents were tormented with disgusting incidents and other disorder.
The force added that residents were subjected to abuse and assault, while being confronted with frequent drug dealing, drug use and intoxicated drug users passed out in the stairwells. A three-month partial closure order was enacted at one of the flats.
Even with this relief, beleaguered residents have reported to The News that drug users are still seen in the area when they aren’t supposed to be – “shouting and arguing” at all hours.
A police spokesperson confirmed several reports were made to the force between April 25 and 30.
Gosport Police added: “Our town is much safer without the scourge of drugs supply. Please keep reporting information to us.”
