Eastfield Neighbourhood Policing Team says it's ongoing effort to combat the supply of drugs in the local community is going from strength to strength.
The team launched Operation RESIST in early 2024 and the initial phase proved a success with a positive outcome in March which saw eight arrests as drugs, car and cash were seized in a community operation to tackle drug dealing.
Since then, the operation has resulted in three additional arrests related to drug activities and the discovery of three substantial cannabis cultivation sites.
More than 600 cannabis plants have been seized, with one of the operations estimated to be worth in the region of £250,000.
A man has been arrested and remanded in prison for the cultivation of cannabis.

The policing team says it has gathered extensive information from concerned residents which has led to these successful raids.
As the investigations continue, a quantity of cannabis has been sent for analysis, along with numerous other items found within the cultivation sites.
The team say the operation demonstrates "the commitment of the Eastfield Neighbourhood Police Team to disrupt the supply of drugs and support the community's well-being."
PC Jamie Manson, from the Eastfield Neighbourhood Policing Team, said:
“We have made a significant dent in the supply of drugs within the Eastfield community.
“We still have a lot of work to do, and we will continue to target those individuals who think it is acceptable to deal drugs and prey on the vulnerable within our area.”
North Yorkshire Police say that further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
