Police seized a heroin stash with a street value of £100,000 as part of a series of raids in west Cumbria.

Officers executed search warrants at two Maryport addresses and found in excess of 1kg of the drug.

As a result of the seizures two men were charged with the supply of a class A drug and have since appeared in court.

A police spokesman said: "The successful warrants were part of a series carried out in west Cumbria between September 27 and 29."

They added: "Positive warrants were executed in Whitehaven, Workington and Millom. These led to the seizure of heroin, cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis in varying quantities.
