Two men arrested after officers seize cannabis and £3k in cash

Two men have been arrested after we found cannabis and cash inside a car in Stoke-on-Trent.

We received reports of suspicious activity involving a Vauxhall Viva that was parked at McDonalds on Ridge House Drive, Etruria, just after 3.30am yesterday (31 January).

Following a search of the car, we seized five tubes of cannabis, mobiles phones, scales and more than £600 in cash.

We then went on to search an address in Stoke-on-Trent and found more drugs, phones and more than £2,500 in cash.

A 20-year-old man and a 24-year-old man, both from Stoke-on-Trent, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis.

Both men have since been released on conditional police bail while enquiries continue.
