Eleven people have been arrested in a series of raids in Bournemouth and Poole aimed at disrupting drug dealing.
Officers arrested two men, aged 18 and 20, at a house in Kings Road, Charminster, on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
A vehicle outside the property led police to a house in Shelbourne where a large quantity of suspected Class A drugs were found.
Another six men and three women were held during the operation on Wednesday.
Eight of the 11 have been released on bail while the other two remain in custody.
