Police have seized £97,000 and drugs following a raid at an address in Nelson.

Officers from the Prosper Partnership and Neighbourhood Policing Teams executed a drugs warrant at the house on Hardy Court on Wednesday after tip offs from members of the public.

Inside, they found a large number of cannabis plants and £96,000 in cash.

Two men aged 20 and 27 were arrested on suspicion of possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply and money laundering.

They have been released under investigation as enquiries continue.
