THREE people have been arrested following an operation to disrupt serious organised crime in Oxfordshire.

This morning, officers executed warrants at six locations, including Wallingford.

Two men and one woman, aged between 28 and 38 years old, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and money laundering.

They have been taken into custody where they remain.

Superintendent Zahid Aziz, LPA Commander for West Berkshire, said: “Drugs cause immeasurable harm within our communities and we are working tirelessly to cut off supply and protect the most vulnerable who are often exploited.

“The work will continue as the investigation into the individuals arrested progresses.

“Today’s police operation, which was led by local officers and assisted by colleagues from across the force, should serve as a clear message to those who may be involved in the supply of controlled drugs and other offences in our communities.

“We will make every effort to bring those who are involved in such criminality to justice.”

Anyone who has information or suspicion about drug supply in their area should contact Thames Valley Police by calling 101 or online.
