DRUGS squad officers swooped on a home in Grimsby – seizing suspected Class A drugs and arresting three people.
The action, which resulted in the seizure of what are believed to be Class A drugs, followed information supplied from a member of the public.
Humberside Police continued their tough stance on drug dealers when officers executed a drugs warrant at an address in Hainton Avenue, Grimsby, at around 8.30pm on Wednesday.
Officers arrested and later bailed three people aged 25, 31 and 35.
It is understood two of them are women.
A quantity of small packages of a substance yet to be determined were found.
They have been sent for analysis.
A Humberside Police spokeswoman confirmed the three were later bailed having been arrested on suspicion of possession and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
Inspector Mel Christie of Humberside Police said: "The action followed the address being linked with drug dealing and it highlights the positive action that we will take if the public come forward.
"I would encourage members of the public to assist us in tackling drug use and supply by reporting any information about drugs activity."
The seizure was also welcomed by the head of Crimestoppers for North East Lincolnshire, Frank Duffield.
He encouraged more people to "make that call".
Mr Duffield said: "It is good news when people make that call.
"It is all about raising awareness and here is an example of someone who has made a call and has seen the action the police have taken."
He added: "We do not get to hear who the individual is because our primary purpose is to ensure the highest level of anonymity.
"But this shows us a situation where the police have acted because of someone who relayed to police or Crimestoppers some information. Anything like this could instil confidence and encourage more people to pick up the phone.
"From our experience people are all too often fearful of retribution and that is why it is very brave of people to pick up the phone in the first place. But this will help stem the tide of drug dealing on our streets."
The raid on the home in Hainton Avenue came after a series of swoops by Humberside Police on properties where cannabis was being grown.
Each swoop by Humberside Police officers had come about as a result of information being passed on by members of the public.
In August, officers seized 21 plants at an address in Dunmow Street on Grimsby's West Marsh.
That came the day after a further 20 plants were found in a quiet residential street in Rosalind Avenue, off Littlefield Lane, Grimsby.
The campaign against drugs had success in the summer when properties in Pinewood Crescent, Pershore Avenue and Belleisle Road were visited and scores of cannabis plants were seized.
Inspector Christie urged people with information to call Humberside Police on 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
