Successful drugs warrant in Hatfield

A drugs warrant in Aviation Avenue, Hatfield, has had successful results.

The warrant was carried out as part of the work to tackle drug dealing in nearby Parkhouse Court. This is currently a local neighbourhood policing priority, following resident feedback.

The Welwyn Hatfield West Neighbourhood Policing Team raided an address in Aviation Avenue on Wednesday 11 February. Two people were arrested at the property, one was later charged and both have now been moved from the area:

Cannabis, cocaine, phones and cash were seized from the property.

Sergeant Mitch Cartwright, from the Welwyn Hatfield West NPT, said: “This warrant has resulted in two people being arrested and moved away from the area. We’ve also seized a quantity of drugs which means these can no longer get into the wrong hands.

“If you have concerns about drugs in your area please don’t hesitate to report it. The more information we receive, the better our intelligence picture and this allows us execute warrants like this.”
