Written by Shaun Moore on June 30, 2010
Hucclecote Safer Community Team (SCT) officers arrested two people in connection with drugs offences this month.
In the first case on June 3, PC Andy Plant was on routine patrol in Coney Hill when he smelled cannabis coming from a car in Naunton Road. 
Having spoken to the two occupants, a search of a house was conducted and a 16-year-old boy from Gloucester was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis. He subsequently received a formal reprimand as it was his first offence, and his drugs were destroyed.
In the second case on June 13, PC Andy Plant and PC Tim Burch raided a house in Birch Avenue.
An amount of cannabis was discovered and a 25-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply in connection with the case. He was bailed to attend Gloucester Police Station on August 18.
£1000 in cash was also confiscated in connection with the case.
Hucclecote SCT Police Sergeant Trish McCavera said: “Our work tackling drugs offences is very important to the local community so I hope this will make people feel confident we will take appropriate action wherever necessary.”
