POLICE say they are tackling drug dealing at an Andover estate – after they swooped on an alleged drugs den following a report by a child.

Police say they are becoming aware of drug dealing allegations in Augusta Park after two men were arrested following a child welfare report.

The arrests were made during a house raid at a property on Olympic Park Road after a young child went to school and reported being assaulted by two men in his mother’s property.

Officers forced their way into the house on June 18 where they allegedly found four knives on the dining table before arresting the men on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs.
