"Working closely with local landlords and the community clearly works.
"I urge all landlords to look closely at the activities that are conducted in and around their properties, turning a blind eye is simply unacceptable. If a tenant is suspected of using drugs or involved in the supply of drugs please contact us."
Crack cocaine was seized from the property in Boscombe, just one of a series of clampdowns on illegal drugs in recent weeks in the area.
Boscombe Sergeant Billy Bulloch said: "The work we are doing to tackle drug offences in Boscombe has made an immediate and real difference to the area.
"Feedback from the local residents has been very positive. That said, there is still work to be done and I would like to reassure the community that our efforts to tackle these issues will continue.
"Dorset Police will take positive action against the individuals involved in dealing drugs and connected criminality."
