POLICE carried out a warrant at an address in Ringwood - seizing a "small amount of cannabis".
The warrant was executed at 7am this morning (September 5) and undertaken by specialist officers from across the district, on Winston Way in Ringwood.
Officers seized a small amount of cannabis and a 29-year-old man was dealt with at the property with an out of court disposal – a community resolution enforcement measure.
Local neighbourhood policing teams and PCSOs will be patrolling the local area today and in the coming days, conducting house-to-house enquiries and offering reassurance to the local community.

Inspector for the New Forest West District Michael Minnock said: “We know that a lot people will think, it’s just a bit of cannabis, but we want to stress this isn't always the case - it could be linked to serious criminality.
"That’s why we are really keen to hear from people who suspect there is cannabis cultivation or drug related activity going on their neighbourhood."
Police say every call made is logged and helps us officers "build up an intelligence picture" about what might be happening in the community.
