Police arrested three people and found a missing child during a raid.
The team from Op Raptor South executed a warrant at an address in Basildon on Friday, where they found a collection of drugs individually wrapped inside the property.
A child was also found at the address who the team say has been "safeguarded".
The three suspects have since been charged and remanded in custody.
