Teenager arrested after BB guns and drugs found in warrants in Wombourne

We have arrested a teenager after finding a number of BB guns and drugs across two warrants in Wombourne.

Officers searched two homes on Brook Road and Battlefield Lane this morning (Thursday 16 July).

Alongside the drugs and air weapons, we also found scales.

A 16-year-old boy, from Wombourne, has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis. He will be questioned in custody.

Chief Inspector Kelly Wareing, from the south Staffordshire local policing team, said: “Local officers have acted on intelligence over potential firearms and drug supply in the local area to carry out these warrants today, supported by the special constabulary, dog unit, central firearms and tactical support teams.

“We are working hard to identify those involved in serious and organised crime in our communities and to action intelligence as quickly and effectively as possible.
