TEN people have been arrested in ten days for alleged drugs offences.
Police have thanked people who tipped them off about suspected drug dealing which has helped Operation Vanguard.
The operation has seen more than 20 warrants executed in ten days, with the following results:
A man in St Ann's was arrested and bailed on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug. He was also recalled to prison for another matter.
Two men and two women arrested and bailed on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis after the Class B drug was recovered from houses in St Ann's, Thorneywood and Sneinton.
Three men and two women arrested and bailed on suspicion of Class A and Class C possession and supply offences after quantities of suspected cocaine and cannabis were found in a house in Hyson Green.
Class A drugs were found at a house in Sneinton and a quantity of suspected live ammunition was seized near a house in St Ann's.
Detective Inspector Keith Priest said: "We have recently had a lot of information from the public in relation to drug offenders operating in the city and surrounding suburbs and we wanted to strike while the iron is hot."
Vanguard was launched four years ago as a large-scale investigation to target violent offenders, including those involved with drugs and firearms, in Nottingham.
Mr Priest said: "This is a prime example of how seriously we take information that comes in from the public.
"No one knows their community better than those who live in it and, more often than not, the information we get from residents is right on the money. That is why it is so important for people to report any suspicious or criminal activity in their neighbourhoods to police.
"With your help we are reducing drugs activity and the serious acquisitive and violent crime that it fuels, such as burglary and robbery, in residential areas of Nottingham."
