POLICE in Bicester have arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of possessing class-A drugs with intent to supply.
Officers said he was targeted in an intelligence-led stop in Reedmace Road, Bure Park.
Following his arrest on Monday afternoon, officers from the Bicester Neighbourhood Team, supported by the tactical support unit, searched an address in Reedmace Road where a quantity of money and a large amount of suspected class-A drugs were seized.
The man was interviewed in relation to the offence and released on police bail pending further investigations until May 23.
PC Richie Iwanoff of the Bicester Neighbourhood Team said: "This is a significant arrest as we continue to tackle drug dealers in the Bicester area. Another man was remanded earlier this month after being charged with drug offences*.
"Drugs and drug dealing will not be tolerated in Bicester and we will continue to pursue our intelligence-led operations. We are working closely with our partner agencies to reduce drugs and the associated anti-social behaviour. Positive action will be taken at every opportunity to reduce the supply of drugs in the area.
"I would urge anyone with information about dealing the Reedmace Road area or anywhere else in Bicester to contact me on 0845 8 505 505 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
