A police spokesperson said they acted “in response to community concerns raised around drugs”.

At Pierson Court, five men were detained after they attempted to flee through front windows.

“Unluckily for them, two officers were already waiting to greet them,” said the spokesperson.

“The men were searched and found to have nothing in their possession; however, in the house class A and B drugs, scales, weapons and about £800 were found.”
