A 30-year-old Nigerian national was arrested at a house in High Street on Thursday, last week, after drugs and forged documents were found in his possession.
Responding to a complaint about the address being frequented by shady-looking individuals on a daily basis, members from the EMPD’s Drug Enforcement Unit raided the premises around 6.50am.
They uncovered narcotics and forged documents.
