A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs after police stopped a car on Cardinal Mews
From the car, police recovered snap bags of crack cocaine, heroin, and cannabis. They also found cash, scales, a machete, a knife, mobile phones and business cards.
Sergeant James Donnelly from the Middleton Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “Thanks to the vigilance of officers on patrol in the area, we have been able to seize drugs that would have been destined for our streets and make a positive arrest.
“Those involved in the supply of drugs in this community are not only helping to sustain an illicit trade which relies on exploitation, violence, and intimidation, but it is directly impacting the quality of the lives of those who are hardworking and law abiding.
“With a man in custody, we will continue to unpick this conspiracy and pursue those who may be affiliated, ensuring we can prevent further drugs from making their way into our communities.
“This is a great result for the local operation, and I am sure plenty more will come thanks to the intelligence we are receiving from the public who have had enough of criminals operating in the area.”
