Three more people have been arrested following a series of raids as part of a major crackdown on drug dealers in a Hampshire town.

More than 80 officers swooped on 10 properties in dawn raids in Andover on Wednesday morning.

These latest arrests come after 10 men and one woman were detained earlier.

The investigation, codenamed Operation Sharland, was established last September "to disrupt the town's drug supply chain".

A Hampshire police spokesman said: "If you sell illegal drugs we will use our best efforts to get you."
