Officers from Rotherham Central Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant at a house on Chestnut Avenue, East Dene, just after 4pm yesterday (Thursday).

The raid came after the force received reports of a strong smell of cannabis.

Sgt Simon Kirkham said “several people fled the house” as the team forced entry.

Officers made a “significant” haul inside, seizing around £500 worth of cannabis and thousands of pounds in cash.

No arrests were made but at least one was “imminent,” said Sgt Kirkham.

He added: “We’re developing lines of enquiry as to the owner of the drugs and the person residing there.”
