The finding came following an investigation by Jersey Police and Customs targeting an organised crime group flooding the island with Class A drugs named ‘Operation Card’, culminating in the arrests of a 37 and 40-year-old on Monday night.

Police found what they described as “a commercial quantity” of the dangerous drug concealed in a plastic container in a green part of town.

The two men were found nearby and later arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with the intent to supply. They have since been released on bail.

The investigation remains ongoing.
