AN anonymous tip-off last week led police to what is believed to be a sizeable amount of cocaine and cash in Yeovil.
Police think the cocaine, seized last Wednesday along with electronic scales, telephones and re-sealable bags, would have a street value of about £15,000.
A 28-year-old man from the Abbey Manor area of the town has been released on bail, while the investigation continues and tests carried out on the seized powder.
He was also arrested on suspicion of being involved in the production of cannabis at Crewkerne, after a house was searched in February.
Yeovil Neighbourhood Sergeant Rich Barnett said: “This was a significant find which should help disrupt the Yeovil drugs supply.”
A 33-year-old man remains on bail regarding suspected cannabis production in Crewkerne. Seven plants and equipment commonly used in growing cannabis were seized.
