Cannabis, stolen goods and cash has been seized by police in drugs raids at Hastings.

Officers supported by search teams and dog handlers made 14 arrests.

Three people had cannabis and cocaine, while others were found to have stolen property and weapons in their homes.

Officers gained warrants to search the houses as part of Operation Crab, an initiative by Senlac Police to crack down on drugs.

In the raids, police seized around 150 cannabis plants, cannabis resin, cash, an imitation firearm, a flick knife and a CS gas canister.

Chief Inspector Martin Stevens said: "The positive action will hopefully give a big warning to people who think they can deal in drugs with no fear of prosecution.

"I intend to continue to attack and disrupt the drug dealers in Hastings and make sure youngsters are free from the scourge of drugs."
