"From these searches we have recovered a number of drugs, mainly cocaine.

"This is something that we will be doing on a regular basis.

"Drugs are not welcome in our pubs and clubs, if you chose to carry drugs, you risk being caught and prosecuted.

"Everyone who we have stopped over the weekend will be dealt with appropriately and for most, this means a criminal record.

"If you have any information about drugs being used in the area, please feel free to get in touch, or you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
