Police constable Kane Baker of the NCFT said: “We executed a warrant at an address in Dunlin Drive this morning following community concerns about drug dealing in the area.
“The discovery of the cannabis stash and associated paraphernalia gave us powers to search another address at Unicorn Row, where we discovered more cannabis, the money and a mobile phone believed to be used for dealing.
“A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class B drug – cannabis and is currently helping us with our enquiries.
“Drug dealing is linked to organised criminal gangs whose actions reap harm on the public we are here to protect and serve.
“The drugs they sell have a negative impact on our communities and can lead to other criminality, or the harm and exploitation of vulnerable people.
“Today’s warrant shows we will not tolerate criminal activity within Wyre Forest, and that we will act on information provided to us by the public.”
