Detective Constable Jane Walker from the Brighton Community Investigation Team said: “Drugs including what we believe to be crystal meth were seized during these raids, which means they won’t be on the streets during this weekend’s celebration in the city.

“We work hard to take drugs off the street to keep Brighton and Hove safe.”
