Police have seized £1,000 in cash and 215 grams of cocaine after busting down doors in Rochford.
Officers from Rochford and Castle Point investigated reports of suspicious activity in the area of Somerset Avenue.
Police raided an address on Saturday, seizing an estimated 215 grams of suspected cocaine, a quantity of cannabis, close to £1,000 and suspected drug paraphernalia.
Two women, one aged in her 20s and one in her 40s, from Rochford, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
They have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Inspector David Kealy said: “This was an important step in our ongoing efforts to disrupt drug dealing activity across our district.
“We are all too familiar with the negative impact of such activity on our communities, but we would reinforce the message that we are working continually and persistently to clamp down on such criminal elements.
“There is no room for drug dealers to operate in Rochford, it’s always a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’ they are stopped.
“We will continue to seize evidence and progress our investigations into drug supply networks in our communities.”
