Drugs police in raids on Rotherham homes
POLICE swooped in south Rotherham on Friday morning after months of intelligence work aimed at snaring “movers and shakers” on the drugs scene.
More than 40 officers travelled to Dinnington and North Anston as part of Operation Manifest—targeting dealers who supply street traders with Class A substances.
Five homes were raided and Det Chief Insp Mark Wilkie said: “As far as I’m concerned we have fulfilled our objectives today.
