Hide AdPolice say the warrant was carried out due to community intelligence into the neighbourhood policing team and reports from members of the public concerned about drug-related issues in their area.
A 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A and has since been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
PC Josh Ellard, of the South Northamptonshire Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Tackling and preventing drug harm is a matter of priority for the Force and we will continue to act on the concerns of our communities to disrupt activities.
“This is another prime example of how we can work together with our partners and residents to tackle the issues affecting their local communities and I would urge anyone concerned to keep reporting suspicious activity to us.”
