Heroin and crack cocaine netted during 'cuckoo' raid

A SUSPECTED crack cocaine dealer from Birmingham was arrested after a 'cuckooing' sting in Warwickshire.

Officers entered a home in the Tiddington area of Stratford-upon-Avon, where the Birmingham man was believed to have 'cuckooed' a vulnerable man with the intention of flooding the area with cocaine.

Cuckooing is used by county lines drugs gangs from cities to threaten and intimidate vulnerable people to allow them to use their home as a base for drug dealing in smaller towns.

Officers found 178 wraps of what were believed to be crack cocaine and 56 wraps of heroin on Saturday, March 22.
