Three men have been arrested after more than 50 wraps of suspected class A drugs were found in a Watford raid.
Herts Police carried out a warrant at the home in Rosslyn Road, near the town centre, early this morning (November 28).
The force apparently had intelligence that cuckooing, where criminals groom a vulnerable person to take over their home and use it as a base, may have been going on there.

Scales and the large quantity of suspected drugs were found inside, while three arrests were made.
Two men, aged 51 and 48, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs. A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of class A drug possession.
All three remain in police custody.
Inspector Dan Jones said: “Cuckooing has serious consequences for victims and the local area surrounding a cuckooed address.
“If you have any concerns about criminality in your local area, please report it to police.
“If you wish to remain anonymous, you can report information via the independent charity Crimestoppers.”
