In a recent crackdown on drug-related activities, officers from the Doncaster South Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant at a residence in Rossington, and seized cannabis chocolate bars and arrested three people.

The officers conducted a raid on 16 April and found large quantities of cannabis, over £5,000 in cash and 50 chocolate bars infused with edible cannabis.

Sgt Chris Rogers, of Doncaster South NPT, emphasised the importance of underlining the serious implications of such illicit products circulating in the community.

He said: “We were able to execute a warrant under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act thanks to vital intelligence received concerning activities happening at a property in the Rossington area.

“If these were to end up in the hands of a child, the consequences could have been disastrous.”

The raid also unearthed additional incriminating evidence, including a knuckle duster and burner phones suspected to be used in drug dealing operations.

Following the operation, two men, aged 28 and 18, along with a 59-year-old woman, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled Class B drug with intent to supply. However, they have since been released on police bail pending further investigation.

Sgt Rogers reiterated the police’s commitment to combating drug-related offenses, emphasising a zero-tolerance stance.

“We will not tolerate the supply or presence of drugs in our neighbourhoods.

“If you are dealing drugs in Doncaster, please know that we will find you and endeavour to bring you before the courts.”

The seizure of cannabis-infused chocolate bars underscores ongoing efforts by the police to disrupt drug networks and safeguard communities from the harmful effects of substance abuse.
