POLICE have made more than 20 arrests for drug offences in just two areas of Barnsley this year.
Officers from Barnsley North East’s Neighbourhood Policing Team arrested two more suspected drug dealers in Lundwood and Monk Bretton last week.
A spokesperson for the force said: “This takes the total arrests for drug supply offences in our area since the start of 2025 to over 20.
“Last Wednesday morning we received reports relating to a green Ford Fiesta dealing drugs in the North East area.
“Last Wednesday lunchtime we received further information that the same green Ford Fiesta had been involved in a burglary in Barnsley.
“North East officers on proactive patrol have sighted this vehicle in Monk Bretton approximately an hour later, and stopped it in the Lundwood area.
“The two occupants were arrested for burglary. These individuals were searched in custody, and a quantity of class A drugs were located.
“Both have been bailed pending further enquiries.”
