DOZENS of people were arrested in a major police drugs sting early this morning.
About 400 police officers from Hampshire Constabulary and the Metropolitan Police executed a number of drug warrants simultaneously across Basingstoke and London.
The action was part of Operation Sheffield, a year-long operation aimed at taking out the network of criminal drug dealing in the Basingstoke area.
