Large Amounts of Drugs Seized Following Police Raids in Dorchester

Warrants have been executed by officers in Dorchester after information was received in relation to suspected drug dealing.

On the morning of Tuesday, 21 April 2026, officers simultaneously entered two addresses in Holbaek Close and conducted warrants under section eight of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.

The warrants involved officers from the local neighbourhood policing team, Force Support Group, dog section and the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit.

A search was also carried out of a vehicle, which resulted in a large amount of suspected cannabis and class A drugs being located and seized.

No arrests have been made at this time and an investigation is ongoing.

Police Constable Glen Caddy, of Dorchester Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have listened and responded to information we have received.

“Cracking down on the reported supply of drugs will always be a priority and something we are working to tackle all year round.

“Our enquiries will continue as we investigate any potential offences linked to these warrants.

“Information from the community is invaluable in helping us to tackle offending – we would continue to urge any members of the public with information relating to suspected drug-related activity to please report it to us.”
