The following were arrested:

• A 36-year-old man from Middlewich on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs

Speaking after the arrests, Detective Inspector Adam Cooke said: “Today’s warrants are a culmination of a complex and covert investigation, targeting those we suspect are involved in serious organised crime across Cheshire, and beyond.

“All six have been taken to local police stations for questioning. We will proactively work with partners across the North West to dismantle organised crime groups who bring drugs, violence, and misery to our streets.
