A man has been released under investigation after police broke down doors during raids in Redditch.
Officers quickly swarmed the properties at Beoley Road East, Other Road and Archer Road at around 6am on Friday (April 26) using battering rams and chainsaws to gain access.
Police from the task force, local policing priority team (LPPT), the neighbour crime fighting team (NCFT), Redditch and Bromsgrove SNT, the dog unit, Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) and Economic Crime Unit (ECU) carried out warrants following concerns over community drug supply.
One man, aged 21, was arrested on suspicion of money laundering at an address in Other Road where an estimated £10,000 cash was seized.
The man has now been released pending further enquiries.
Following the warrants, the Safer Neighbourhood Inspector for Redditch, Richard Field, said: "Today's operation has been dealing with community drug supply in Redditch. We received intelligence about three addresses that we believe to be linked to local drug dealing.
"It is really important to keep working with the community to tackle drug dealing in the area and work with users who are vulnerable.
"The warrants have been a success with a 21-year-old man arrested at one of the addresses and £10,000 cash seized.
"There were no drugs found but we have seized a number of phones and it all helps us with gathering more intelligence and positive outcomes. This includes disrupting the drug supply, supporting community intelligence and reducing crime.
"It shows we are not afraid to act on information and put our resources together. It gives a sense of community cohesion and proves we are acting on concerns in the area."
Mobile phones were also recovered from all three addresses which will be analysed by the Digital Media Investigations (DMI) team as enquiries into suspected drug dealing in Redditch continue.
Inspector Field added: "I want to issue a plea to the public that if you suspect drug dealing in your area please report it to the police. Don't assume we already know as any information is valuable to us.
"Please report to West Mercia Police or anonymously to Crimestoppers."
