A man has been arrested and both cash and suspected illegal drugs have been seized at an address in the Southmead area, police have confirmed. Officers obtained a warrant to search an address in the area yesterday (Wednesday, September 21) after members of the public raised concerns about drugs being sold from a property on Greystoke Avenue.
A 41-year-old man was arrested from inside the address on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. Cash and two phones were also seized during the operation.
Sergeant Rich Jones said: "This warrant was only possible because of the information we received from members of the public. We’d like to thank those who contacted us and let us know of their suspicions that drugs were being sold from the address.

“Illegal substances can cause misery to innocent people living in those communities and we will continue to target offenders who seek to profit from their sale.”
The arrested man has since been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out.
