Scales and vacuum packing equipment were also seized during the search.

Officers involved in the operation included those from the Watford Safer Neighbourhood Team.

Inspector Vicki Richards, from the Hertfordshire Constabulary operational support group, said: “Drugs are often the catalyst for many other serious crimes which cause fear among local communities.

“Residents rightly ask us to take action against those who are involved, and I want to reassure people that their voices are being heard.

"We’re committed to doing all we can to make Hertfordshire a hostile place for criminals to operate.

“If you suspect criminality in your neighbourhood, please report it. Every single call helps us to build up the intelligence we need to take action.”
