Two men from Moulton Chapel were among 51 arrested after police carried out more than 30 dawn raids targeting organised drug crime.
As part of Cambridgeshire Police’s Operation Hypernova, a property on Roman Road was raided in the police operation in March as others were in London, Leicester, Grimsby and in numerous locations in Cambridgeshire.
Two people have been charged as a result of the raid in Moulton Chapel.
Boyd Docherty, 30, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin and possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.
Tyler Lintott, 25, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine, concerned in the offer to supply crack cocaine, concerned in the supply of heroin and possession of criminal property.
Police hailed the raids as ‘striking a significant blow to organised drug crime’ and that 35 people had been charged with more than 100 offences as a result of the work.
A spokesman said: “It followed weeks of intelligence gathering into those bringing class A drugs into Cambridgeshire and resulted in shutting down 50 active drug lines and seizing an estimated £55k of illegal drugs including cocaine, cannabis, crack cocaine and heroin.
“In addition, police recovered a significant number of criminal assets including £57k in cash, more than £8k in crypto currency and high-end designer watches and luxury trainers.
“More than 10 weapons were seized including knives, machetes, batons, knuckle dusters and swords, reducing the threat of violence in communities.
“The operation also saw 28 individuals identified and protected from further exploitation, many of whom were vulnerable young people and adults being used by criminal gangs to transport and sell drugs.”
Detective inspector Dan Miller, from Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s Intelligence and Specialist Crime Department, said: “This operation continues to focus on those people who come into our county and exploit vulnerable people, be they drug users or vulnerable children and encourage them into selling or using drugs.
“Once again, we have significantly disrupted organised criminal networks across the county who are profiting from the exploitation of vulnerable people and the misery caused by illegal drugs.
“The arrests, subsequent charges and seizures send a clear message that we will continue to relentlessly pursue those who run and profit from county lines drug dealing in Cambridgeshire.”
