Hide AdSergeant Simon Whitehouse from Nottinghamshire Police said: "This is a prime example of why early morning warrants are so important. We managed to catch these people unaware and seize a quantity of drugs and cash from the property.
“We even found a plastic bag inside the toilet bowl, which we suspect they did not want us to find.
“Drug dealing causes misery to so many people’s lives and that is why we will continue to target those who peddle these drugs in our county.”
