Arrests made in city drug raids

A total of 24 people have been arrested in a four-day series of drug raids across Bristol.

A "huge quantity" of drugs, including 660 rocks of cocaine with a street value of £60,000, was seized during Operation Mint.

The 22 raids across the city included one on the St Paul's Black and White Cafe on Friday when 200 wraps of a class A drug were recovered.

During the raids a self-loading pistol was also recovered and £6,000 in cash.
