Turner and Martin, who live in Derbyshire, were among four people arrested at the scene.

A 39-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug and have been released under investigation.

An address in Minehead was searched later that same day.
