Two teenagers from Slough, aged 17 and 16, who cannot be named for legal reasons, received two-year rehabilitation orders.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Rob Hood, said: “This six month investigation by the Serious and Organised Crime Unit, identified a group who were running a number of drug lines in Slough and Maidenhead.

“During the investigation, officers worked tirelessly to gather evidence against the twelve and also seized heroin and cocaine with a street value of £30,000. They also seized £20,000 in cash, a hand gun and a number of large hunting knives.

“We will continue to work to disrupt and dismantle groups who see fit to profit from selling class A drugs which have a hugely detrimental impact on our communities.

“This operation is part of our Stronghold campaign which works in partnership to tackle serious and organised crime.

“We still need the community to act as our eyes and ears and keep reporting those who deal drugs as well as looking out for signs of those who maybe being exploited by drug dealers.”
