Police teams have raided two more addresses in Colchester as part of their on-going battle against class A drugs.
Officers swooped at two separate addresses in the town yesterday and arrested three people in the latest Operation Tralee drugs raid.
The latest arrests, involving two men aged 24 and 26, and a woman aged 28, brings the operation's total to 16.
A police spokeswoman said: "Officers in Colchester arrested three people from two separate addresses in Colchester on suspicion of being concerned with the supply of class A drugs.
"Cocaine estimated at over half a kilo, and a quantity of crack cocaine with a street value of several thousand pounds, was recovered by police for analysis."
Operation Tralee was made public last month when police made six high-profile arrests in one day.
The arrests follow months of intelligence work by police.
