Two men have been arrested and several kilogrammes of cocaine seized after police warrants in Peterborough and Northamptonshire on Wednesday, July 20.
A 46-year-old man from Thrapston and a 31-year-old man from Peterborough were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs after warrants were carried out in Halford Street, Thrapston and Vere Road, Peterborough.
