Staffordshire Police have found a machete and about £1K in cannabis after carrying out a number of warrants in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Officers recovered the items from three properties in Kidsgrove yesterday morning.

Three boys, aged 16, 15 and 13, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, are due to be interviewed in relation to the findings and remain under investigation.

Sergeant Daniel Egerton, of the Newcastle-under-Lyme local policing team, said: "We are continuing to proactively target those responsible for distributing illegal drugs and exploiting vulnerable people within our communities.

"Disruption teams and local officers are regularly looking into intelligence leads and taking enforcement action to make sure the groups responsible for this criminality are disrupted and brought to justice."
