Inquiries remain ongoing.
Members of Nottinghamshire Police’s Gedling and City North Operation Reacher teams, as well as Bestwood neighbourhood policing officers, were involved in executing the warrants.
Sergeant James Carrington, of the Gedling Operation Reacher team, said: “We often find drug-related crime can go hand-in-hand with violence and weapons, such as knives.
“That’s why we are committed to using every tactic at our disposal to keep our communities safe from the harm caused by these related crimes.

“As a force we treat drug and knife offences with the utmost severity and work tirelessly day and night to prevent crime, using a mixture of education, positive engagement and enforcement, to keep our streets safe and bring offenders to justice.
“This was an excellent example of officers working together and acting on intelligence to tackle issues our communities have told us matter most to them.
“I can assure people we will continue to act on information and we want those seeking to carry out criminal activities to know we are coming for them and we will catch them and bring them to justice.”
