THREE people have been arrested after police swarmed a house in Colchester.

Essex Police had a warrant to search a house in Titania Close, on the outskirts of Greenstead, yesterday.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “A 39 year-old-man from Colchester, a 28-year-old woman from Colchester and a 15-year-old boy from London were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

“All three people remain in police custody.”

Residents of Titania Close said the police arrived at about 9am and were at the house until about 10.30am.

One resident said: “The woman and man were in the flat, the other man was in the alleyway.

“An officer said they had dogs in looking for drugs and they will clear the flat of drugs and any offensive weapons.”
