Ten people have been arrested and suspected drugs and cash seized during a police operation targeting an alleged organised drug supply network.
Officers from the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU), supported by Devon and Cornwall Police, executed nine warrants on Tuesday, November 10, as part of an ongoing investigation into the suspected supply of Class A and Class B drugs.
Nine people were arrested in Exeter, including eight men aged between 29 and 50 and a woman in her 40s.
A tenth person, a man in his 70s, was arrested in East Sussex.
Detective chief inspector Adam Smith, from SWROCU, said: "These arrests form part of an investigation into an organised crime group suspected of operating drug lines across Devon.
"During today's activity, which was supported by our colleagues at Devon and Cornwall Police, officers seized suspected drugs and cash.
"The ten individuals remain in police custody and will be questioned by investigators as enquiries continue."
Police have urged anyone with information about suspected drug-related activity in their community to report it through the Devon and Cornwall Police website or by calling 101.
Information can also be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or using its online reporting service.
