THREE people were arrested for drug offences in Hatfield.

The man, from North London, was arrested and cautioned on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, conspiracy to supply class A drugs and obstructing a Pc.

Police then searched a flat on Campion Way, believed to have been used by the 20-year-old, and a 48-year-old Hatfield man was arrested on suspicion of allowing his premises to be used in the supply of drugs.

He was later released, with no further action taken.

A third man, a 19-year-old from London, went on the run from the property.

He was later located by the police helicopter and arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs, possession of criminal property and possession of cannabis.

No further action has been taken against him.
