The latest warrants, issued under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, were executed between Wednesday 4th March 2009 and Wednesday 1st April 2009 by officers from Charnwood Local Policing Unit. All six people who've been arrested have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
A property on Churchchill Road was searched on Wednesday 1st April 2009, no drugs were found and no one was arrested.
On Friday 20th March 2009, a 30 year old man and a 28 year old woman from Churchill Road were arrested on suspicion of possessing Class ‘B' drugs; possession with intent to supply a Class ‘B drug' and possession of criminal property.

Another warrant was executed at an address on Glebe Close in Mountsorrel on Wednesday 4th March 2009. No drugs were found but two occupants were evicted from the property.
Inspector Duncan Southall, Commander of Charnwood Local Policing Unit said; "We have now carried out more than twenty warrants in the last nine months which reflects our commitment to disrupting drug dealing in Mountsorrel and other villages. Drug addiction is the driving factor behind the majority of burglaries and vehicle crime which is why we are committed to tackling it. We can't do it without the support and information that comes from local residents. I'd like to thank people who have come forward with information and urge others to report suspicious behaviour to us or Crimestoppers. That information can be vital in helping us secure warrants to search properties and make arrests."
Anyone with any information about drugs or drug dealing in their area are asked to call Leicester (0116) 222 2222 or Crimestoppers which is free* and anonymous on 0800 555 111. *Some mobile ‘phone networks may charge for this call.
