CANNABIS with a street value of around £15,000 was seized during a drugs raid by Caledonian Safer Neighbourhoods team last Friday.

The address in Caledonian Road, N1, was searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act by Caledonian Safer ­Neighbourhoods team with assistance from   the MPS Dog Support Unit in response to community concerns about drug dealing at the address.

A large amount of cannabis and £4,500 in cash was discovered.

A 20-year-old man was arrested on suspic­ion of possession with intent to supply and has been bailed to return to police on October 15.

Police Sergeant Michael Atkinson, from Caledonian SNT, said: “Drugs taking and dealing is one of our ward priorities. We take complaints from residents very seriously and will continue to work towards reducing this menace.”
