TWO people have been arrested after a police raid at a house in Grimsby yielded a "significant amount" of drugs.

Officers swooped on the property in Crosby Road, Nunsthorpe, shortly before 9am on Wednesday, when they unearthed the illicit haul of what is believed to be class-B drug amphetamine.

An officer at the scene said the find was one of the biggest at a house in the area in recent months.

Police smashed down the front door of the house and arrested the two people inside, a 33-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman.

It is also understood that stolen goods were found inside the property.

The force said the warrant sent a message out to criminals, insisting that "we know who they are".

Shoreline, which manages the house targeted by the raid, said any tenants convicted would have action taken against them.

Shoreline housing crime prevention manager Sarah Freeman said: "Tenants must not use their home, any shared area or the locality for any illegal, criminal, immoral or improper purposes.

"Tenants convicted of illegal activity will have enforcement action taken against them.

"We will do everything in our power to continue to tackle antisocial behaviour and illegal activity in partnership with Humberside Police and other agencies across North East Lincolnshire."

Councillor Norma Lincoln, North East Lincolnshire member for the South Ward, which covers the Nunsthorpe estate, said: "We all want to make the area a safer place to live and we know what goes on, but this is a good example to set.

"If, in this case, somebody has tipped off the police then maybe that will act as an example for other people to do the same."

A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: "Police executed a warrant at an address in Grimsby on the morning of Wednesday, November 20.

"A quantity of drugs were recovered from the address on Crosby Road and a 28-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man were arrested at the address and are currently in custody at Grimsby Police Station.

"This warrant sends out a message to those people who are involved in criminal activity that we know who you are.

"Police will continue to target those individuals in an attempt to help in the fight against crime in North East Lincolnshire.

"Anyone who may wish to report criminal activity can call Humberside Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

UPDATE - 11.14am TWO people have been released on police bail after being arrested at an address in Grimsby. On the morning of Wednesday November 20 police executed a warrant at an address in Crosby Road in Grimsby. Two people, a man and woman, who were in the address were arrested after police located around two kilos of drugs in the property. The 33-year-old man and the 29-year-old woman have been released on bail to a date in January as enquiries continue. Detective Inspector Alan Curtis said: "I want to send a message to people that we do target offenders who are involved in all forms of criminality. "Many people who are involved in burglary are also connected to other crimes such as drug dealing, robbery and vehicle crime, so it is important that we target offenders for a number of reasons and help to reduce the chances of genuine people being a victim of crime. "I also want the local communities to see that we do act on the information they provide to us. It is important that people let us know what criminal activity is going on in their street and communities. We can only act on information that is provided to us, so thank you to those who do call 101."Follow us on Facebook and Twitter
