The raids were led by Operation Fearless, a specialist team set up to tackle drugs, violence, antisocial behaviour and other issues affecting communities in the Soho Road and Handsworth Triangle areas.
It was supported by the the West Midlands Police Major Crime Unit, County Lines Taskforce and the National Crime Agency.
Rakesh Soni, manager of the Soho Business Road Business Improvement District in Handsworth, said more action needed to be taken to tackle drug dealing.
“We need more foot patrols and that needs to happening constantly to maintain that presence on the High Street,” he added.
