One tweet read: “Officers stop a car on Westbourne Street, Westwood. Vehicle and four occupants searched. Seven wraps of heroin, seven wraps of crack cocaine.

Another post on the site said: “Officers stop a man on a bike on Hill Farm Close, Fitton Hill, during which he disposes of 14 bags of a white paste.”

During the day a property in the area was searched and quantities of amphetamine and 12 cannabis pants were discovered.
