Man arrested after cops search Wilmslow bars in 'Op Powdered' drugs crackdown

A man has been arrested after police visited a number of bars in Wilmslow as part of a drugs crackdown operation.

Cheshire Police headed out to seven licensed premises in the area on Saturday, August 13, as part of an operation targeting recreational drug use across Cheshire. Officers from the Macclesfield Local Policing Unit visited each of the bars with a drugs dog, searching four areas after the dog indicated they'd found something.

A 39-year-old man from Wilmslow was arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine, before being released under investigation. The action was part of "Operation Powdered', a targeted scheme running across the summer to tackle drug-related crime and child criminal exploitation.
