Three men were arrested after allegedly hiding class A drugs in a shoe during a police raid in Bury St Edmunds.

Officers carried out a warrant under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act at an address in Anselm Avenue in the town on Wednesday.

Suspected class A drugs, an amount of cash and mobile phones were recovered.

Three men – aged 50, 26, and 24 – were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A controlled drugs and were taken into police custody for questioning.

Suffolk police’s scorpion team then posted a poem about the incident on Twitter.

All three men have subsequently been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
