POLICE have arrested a man after finding him hiding in a cupboard.

The man, who is wanted on suspicion of multiple thefts, was discovered after police raided a home in Worcester following reports of drug activity in the area.

12 officers and a police dog entered the home in Mulberry Terrace, Tolladine, at around 7pm tonight.

Drugs paraphernalia was found at the home - but no drugs were discovered.

A lock knife and knuckledusters were surrendered to police as part of the raid. They will now be destroyed.

Sergeant Carl Jones said: "This has been a successful operation.

"We don't do these things lightly. We act on the intelligence of the community.

"We can only do these operations because of their support - and we would encourage people to continue to come forward phoning 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."

Leaflets were distributed to neighbours explaining the police activity after the raid.
