Around 30 grams of what is believed to be mephedrone and two bags of herbal cannabis were confiscated by officers.
A 25-year-old Alvington man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class B drug with intent to supply and money laundering in connection with the case. He has been bailed to attend Gloucester police station on May 24.
The seizures were made as part of Operation Rapier, a concerted effort by Forest police to crackdown on the kinds of crimes blighting communities.
Inspector Jane Horrobin said: "These are more good results for the Operation Rapier team and have come as a result of information from the public and some very attentive police work.
"I would urge anyone in the community with information on drugs crime to call us – everyone can see the strong action we are taking and it will continue."
Alternatively information can also be given anonymously on 0800 555 111, or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org. In some cases Crimestoppers offer rewards of up to £1,000 where information leads to a conviction.

“Also, these people doing this are not too clever. If you keep night hours, drive an unusual or noticeable vehicle and wear clothing consistent with a certain *type* of person, the chances are you are going to get stopped and checked, and if its just in your pocket or secreted about your person or vehicle and found, then the pace law will kick in and your whole property / life will be examined and you will be in a world of hurt.
Get a real job. Realise that the Police are a multi-billion pound funded organisation built solely to catch people like you in the act - you cannot beat them - and that in the end your life and that of your family will be miserable and disrupted and nobody decent will want to know you.”

“At some point, these people producing to demand are going to realise that the very people they are supplying are weak minded individuals who will do anything to get a lesser charge.”
