They then burst in, making checks throughout the property. The raid was one of two in the town yesterday (November 26).

A business, which has not been identified, was also searched. Warwickshire Police said this was part of an ongoing investigation. "This was part of an investigation into a business suspected of stocking sweets, drinks and legal vapes as a front for the sale of cannabis and illegal cannabis products such as edibles and vapes." a force spokesperson said.
