Illegal drugs, quantities of cash and a number of suspected stolen vehicles have been recovered by neighbourhood policing officers, after they executed a pre-planned warrant, at a compound in Doncaster.

After gathering intelligence and monitoring activity at an address in Conisbrough, officers from Doncaster South Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) swooped in to raid the premises last Friday (10 May).

Inside, they found quantities of Class A and B drugs, including 'snappy' bags of cannabis, various quantities of cash and several vehicles, suspected of being stolen.
