The warrants were part of an investigation into a suspected organised crime group, which police had uncovered by looking at criminality associated with specialist encrypted phones.

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Peters, from ERSOU, said: “This was a significant policing operation to clamp down on serious and organised criminality and further investigation work is now on-going.

“We will continue to use a wide range of specialist tactics to uncover and tackle serious and organised crime across the eastern region and make the communities within it a safe place.”
