Police executed a drugs warrant on an address in Newport this morning (Friday) which resulted in 3 individuals being arrested, including a 15-year-old boy.
Officers raided the property on Brickfield Close, off Snowberry Road, at just before 09:30.
A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing a class A drug with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of a class B drug. In addition, a 42-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of possessing a class A drug.
A 15-year-old boy was also arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class B drug.
The trio remain in custody for questioning.
Today’s raid comes following a series of similar raids across the Island, as previously reported by Island Echo. Hampshire Constabulary is working to target those responsible for the supply of Class A and Class B drugs within the community.

Well said, however, are the two adults the parents of the fifteen year old?, if they are sadly the youngsters life and mindset will be very damaged..
Yet again evil comments abound on the island echo forum
Are you so perfect that you are able to make these kind of comments
The island echo trolls are about again!!!!..jesus christ always judging when they no know facts….
Compared to that low life, slime in a pond is more deserving to make a comment on how they bring up, or better still how the social services, benefits and teachers, bring up their offspring. These people are know for more anti social behaviour than just drug dealing by those living close to them.
The authorities should refuse to rehouse them in HA stock houses or council houses, the children can be fostered. All grow up the same only worse anyway.
So ‘some’ of us DO know the facts…more than you realise bud.
Well said Jame and good on you for speaking up and letting us know about this anti social family.
Bill Payer. They have been accused of dealing Class A & B drugs. Do you think they deserve a bloody medal or what? It’s not about being a ‘troll’ drugs ruin lives and create crime. The island is such a lovely place to live but yet, drugs seem to be getting ever so more available. People don’t want drugs or crime but we seem to have both in abundance!
Sure you and Just Me wont mind then when their rehoused next to you i am sure you will make them all welcome in your cotton wool bubble.
Your mindset is all wrong,, wake up and smell the coffee….
poor lost 15 year old….wake up wangerz..FFS… this kid is a juvenile delinquent who couldn’t care less and is most likely peddling the stuff to his mates to get wasted, whilst bragging about being the “man” that can sort the gear out.
stop being such a 1970’s style, hand wringing, lefty do gooder – there is no place for soft soap, apologists such as you in todays society.
lock the little shit and its parents up.
Ha Ha Ha! Told all you skanky drug dealing scum your time is coming to an end. Drugs ruin lives and create crime. No more. Keep giving the police addresses for these wasters, let the drug usage on the island be stopped. Well done IOW police again.
I wonder how soon it will be before all the do-gooders start bleating the b/s ”Oh we can’t do anything to him,he’s under age” Where does it say he has to be a CURTAIN age to be a drug snorting peddling little shit?
Starting with social services making excuses and then judge apologizes. Police will never win.
Well done again cops
Keep the pressure on Let’s hope the courts start hitting them hard
Fines are no good as they just sell more drugs to pay the fine and ruin more lives.
There is no place for these people except in a tough prison
Dob them in It will save lives and make life better for decent people . they ruin their neighbourhoods.
They destroy families including their own.
Do the right thing.
Well done to the police for going after all these alleged drug dealers.
Courts won’t stop them only one thing will
NATIONAL SERVICE
Island echo comments are the most judgemental bunch of people.
Hope their rehoused next door to you then you may reconsider your comment then.
Butt-hurt over the last General Election, are we?
Snowberry road has always been an area for trouble and dregs.
Please pay attention Law Makers and Courts!
The Police are now doing their part in weeding out the drug-dealing scum on our island.
Please do your part in sentencing, so that the vile creatures among us are stopped once and for all from violating our lives.
As for the utter filth in our society who use children to run and deliver drugs – JUST GET RID OF THEM!
Anywhere but on our island – we DO NOT want them living here!
Unfortunately the council are moving them here, and being paid for it my mainland councils because they are fed up with moving them around over there and every where they move them to, they cause trouble. That’s why they are building houses on every possible piece of land here So until the courts deport such scum off the Island back where they came from for these offences, we will be lumbered with it, either that or they need to be stopped coming here in the first place.Like you said WK, we don’t want them here poisoning the place or our people
No island drug dealers then just mainland Total rubbish
That spaniel dog deserves a treat catching these nasty drug dealers. Mind the dog does look very smug, knowing he has done well I expect. Tripe is what our Gyp used to like, bert didn’t as made the whole house stink for days.
