Five men were arrested in connection with the incident. They have now been released on bail so they cannot see or communicate with each other.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: “When we searched a house on Gortsy Avenue, we found cash and what we believe is heroin. Five men were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.
“We also seized six weapons under the new Offensive Weapons Act 2019. The law means it’s illegal to have dangerous weapons like zombie knives, even in your own home.
