00:18 This morning we've executed a drugs warrant in Asquith Road.
00:21 We received information a few weeks ago about two individuals from the Allan Rock wash and deep area
00:27 being involved in the wound of the Cooper drugs line.
00:30 That drugs line was supplying heroin and crack cocaine to vulnerable users across the city.
00:36 So we obtained a warrant last week from Birmingham Magistrates Court for two premises,
00:41 this one in Asquith Road where we are now and one a couple of roads away.
00:45 We've got two miles in custody and we've got searches ongoing at both properties
00:50 where we're optimistic that we're going to recover evidence in support of our investigation,
00:56 notably Class A drugs, cash and drugs line phones, telephones that have been used in the running of that drugs line.
