A TELEVISION crew joined police in Loudwater as officers arrested three men after finding alleged packages of heroin and crack cocaine in a car.

The men, from London, were in a car that was being tailed by traffic officers as part of Thames Valley Police's Operation Falcon'.

They were pulled over for a stop check in Rayners Lane and 45 items believed to be heroin and crack cocaine were found.

Police were accompanied by a film crew from Sky One's Road Wars, a reality TV show, when they began following the car and pulled it over.

Detective Inspector Ian Holmes said: "We will continue our crackdown on drug dealers in Buckinghamshire.

"If you're dealing in class A drugs, nowhere is safe for you.

"The key to Falcon's success is intelligence from the community and we are urging people with information about drug dealing to come forward so that we can put the dealers behind bars."

Meanwhile, police say they raided two cannabis factories last Friday in Little Kingshill, where drugs with an estimated street value of £20,000 were recovered.

Officers said 161 cannabis plants were found in two units of an industrial estate in Watchet Lane in the dawn raids.

They found 61 plants in one unit, and 100 plants at another with cultivation equipment.

One of the officers hailed it as old-fashioned police work which led to their discovery'.

Anyone with information on drugs should call police on 08458 505 505 or Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.

A 23-year-old man and a 19-year-old man have been charged with possession of a class A drug with intent to supply. They were due to appear in court this week. Another 19-year-old man was arrested under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
