Nitrous oxide cannisters seized following Acocks Green concerns

Dear Resident,

We're writing to update you after we seized a quantity of nitrous oxide cannisters in Acocks Green, following concerns from the community.

After receiving information about the supply of Class C drugs at a premises on Warwick Road, officers from the Acocks Green Neighbourhood Team carried out a warrant yesterday (28 September).

Searches were carried out and 45 cannisters of nitrous oxide were recovered, alongside a quantity of illicit cigarettes.

Two men in their 20s were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class C drugs and have been bailed with conditions pending further enquiries.

Sergeant Antony Coy, from the Acocks Green Neighbourhood Team, said: “Local officers continue to investigate, and won’t hesitate to act when they receive information like this from the community.

“We’re always grateful for this, and it can be vital in getting these kind of substances off the streets.

“We don’t underestimate the harm that drugs bring to the area, and we’re committed to tackling drug crime head on.”
