Large amount of 'zombie drug' spice recovered in Worksop after police raid

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police’s Bassetlaw Operation Reacher team executed a misuse of drugs warrant at a property on Manton Dale, on December 30.

A spokesman for the force’s West Bassetlaw neighbourhood policing team said: “A large amount of mamba, a psychoactive substance, was found in the property.”

Spice or mamba are names for synthetic cannabinoids.

The spokesman said: “Mamba/spice has only recently appeared back in Worksop, having previously been prevalent in the area .

“Most people on here will have seen videos of the effects this substance has on people and the negative impact it has on the town as a whole.

“We will continue to be committed to rid this drug from the streets and make Worksop a more pleasurable place to live and visit.”

A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled class B drug with intent to supply.

Inquiries are continuing.
