A man will appear in court on drugs charges after police raided a home on an upmarket estate.
Officers from Northumbria Police swooped on the property on Bells Lonnen, in Prudhoe, Northumberland, on Saturday morning. The street is part of an estate of new-build houses called Castlefields close to Prudhoe Castle.
A spokesman for the force said a man was arrested and later charged with offences relating to the supply and possession of Class B drugs. The 35-year-old is due to appear before magistrates next month.
