A SUSPECTED drug dealer has been arrested in Rugby following a police raid.
Officers from Rugby Proactive CID executed a warrant at a property in Lever Road in the early hours of Friday (May 6).
A 28-year-old man from Rugby was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis with intent to supply. He has since been released under investigation while enquires continue.
Police said they seized a ‘significant’ amount of cannabis along with cash during the raid.
