Officers have seized £50,000 in illegal drugs, £22,000 cash and three stolen cars during a week of action targeting the drug dealers preying on students in Newcastle.
The operation - part of Project Adder - also saw a range of weapons including five knives and a knuckle duster recovered, with 38 people arrested for offences including possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
Project Adder - a partnership between Northumbria Police and Newcastle City Council - began a year ago and targets drug supply. The operation last week saw officers carry out stop and searches, vehicle stops and execute a number of search warrants
