Cannabis and a zombie knife were among items seized during a police drugs bust in North Watford.

Officers from the force’s Operation Scorpion team executed a warrant on Halloween (October 31) at an address in Cherry Tree Road following concerns over drug dealing and use locally.

The class B drug, three mobile phones and zombie knife were seized and two people at the address were given community resolutions for the cannabis possession. Enquiries are continuing around a third person, police said.

Community resolutions allow police to deal with low-level crimes without recourse to formal criminal proceedings.

PC Richard Fielding from the Scorpion Team said: “Following information received we acted on concerns raised by members of the community.

"Drug dealing and drug use can have a negative impact on residents, and I hope this reassures the community that we are listening to your concerns."

He continued: “In this instance, we have also utilised new legislation which took effect from September this year to seize a zombie knife from a private premise. Further information can be found on the government website."

Officers will continue to gather and and act on intelligence, the PC said, while urging anything suspicious regarding drugs or antisocial behaviour to be reported to the force.
