Sergeant Ross Kirby said: "The warrants are part of a wider intelligence-led operation aimed at disrupting drug dealing in Leamington.
"Often referred to as 'county lines', dealers develop networks to bring drugs into the town from larger cities. This raid is part of an investigation into drugs coming in from Coventry and Birmingham.
"These criminals often exploit vulnerable people, either getting them to sell drugs or using their house a base from which to deal; this is known as cuckooing."
