DRUGS worth more than £20,000 were seized in a raid on a house in Rochford. The hefty seizure was part of Operation Market Garden, the ongoing police war against Class A drugs. Officers found a white powder, more than 2,000 pills, large "blocks" of resin and bags of a herbal substance.

A 29-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man, both from Rochford, were arrested for possession with intent to supply a Class A-controlled drug and have been bailed until January 19.
