THREE people were arrested during raids as part of a crackdown on crime.
Warrants were issued across the Malvern Hills this morning (Wednesday) as police swooped to help to maintain a low-level of crime in the area.
Arrests were made for drugs and sexual offences, with class a drugs found at some of the premises.
Malvern Hills inspector Brian Gibbs said: "The activity today is in no way a response to an increase in crime but to maintain the low levels of crime in Malvern Hills by focussing our attention on those individuals which the community highlight as causing them the most harm.
"Warrants were executed across Malvern Hills and along its borders and support was given to our Integrated Offender Management Teams with arrests for some impactive complex investigations.
"The warrants were for drugs, stolen property and drugs production.
"A number of arrests have been made and the investigations are progressing."
The warrants were issued for drugs production, drugs and stolen property.
Police executed five warrants this morning across the Malvern Hills, including in Pickersleigh where a number of stolen lawnmowers and other power tools were also found.
Police are now hoping to find the owners of the power tools.
Malvern police worked from 6am, and were supported by Evesham police as well as police superintendent Kevin Purcell.
